5th International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers
On December 17th, people around the world will be calling attention to hate crimes perpetrated against sex workers. Here are a few suggestions, written by Dr. Annie Sprinkle, for ways to participate:
- Do something of personal meaning alone at home; take a ritual bath, or simply think about those who have died, light a candle, make a wish, have a cry, call a friend and discuss the topic, etc.
- Write a short personal quote or a statement about violence against sex workers and send it to the SWOP web site for them to post.
- Send a donation to a nonprofit group that helps sex workers stay safer.
- Organize a panel discussion about violence towards sex workers.
- Send news of this event to any and all press you know, so the word gets out that there are people who care about murdered sex workers, and who are concerned with the safety of sex workers out there today.
- Attend one of the events which is listed on the SWOP web site.
- If you know any sex workers, send them some information about self-defense.
- Read Daisy Anarchy's poem (click here) to yourself or to friends, or at one of the public events. Or email it around.
ATL folks, remember:
