Today, International Day To End Violence Against Sex Workers, impels us to reflect. We should reflect not only on the enduring levels of violence targeted at sex workers but also on the societal stigma and discrimination that gives rise to this violence. We should reflect on how negative attitudes towards sex workers operate as a barrier to the reporting of violence, allowing victimisation to go unchallenged and offenders to act with impunity.

Agreed. The Nordic Model of course encourages violence against Sex Workers by reinforcing the stigma surrounding it.

Very sad that there should be a need to highlight it. Sex workers feel safest when they can work hand in hand with the police, ensuring safe practices without fear of being victimised by police or abolitionists. Ironic that some people banging on about lesbians rights are often the same people that want to deny prossies rights. Quite disgusting.

They seem to have forgotten that it was not that long ago that people like Alan Turing were victimised by society, ostracised, beaten up, forced to fit into other people's ideas of "normal".
