International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers December 17, 2007 7:00-8:30pm at Charis Books and More (1189 Euclid Ave NE in the Little Five Points Business District)
December 17th is the 5th annual International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. This event was created to call attention to hate crimes committed against sex workers all over the globe. Please join us as we celebrate this important day of action with a sex worker open mic, a few brief video screenings and inspiring conversation on the movement for sex workers rights, dignity and decriminalization! This event is free and open to everyone; however, to participate as a performer in the open mic, the organizers request that you be a current or former sex worker.
The power of an unconference is that attendees get direct access to ideas, thoughts, best practices, and the wisdom of real experts simply by attending and participating.
