Sex Workers have rights too

Not everyone is afforded basic human rights.

Sex Workers don’t get these when…


· They are told to get a real job
· They are called ‘whore’ or other labels
· It is assumed they are victims and need to be saved
· The laws force them to work in unsafe conditions
· Labour laws don’t apply
· They are generalized and stereotyped
· It is assumed that violence is a part of their job
· They cannot access non-judgmental medical care or protection
… Even though they are working in a legal profession.
