sex work activism

Sex work activism involves advocating for the rights, safety, and dignity of individuals engaged in commercial sex. Activists work to decriminalize or legalize sex work, aim to reduce stigma, and promote occupational health and safety. They seek to empower sex workers, ensure access to healthcare, legal protections, and support services, and challenge laws and attitudes that marginalize or criminalize them. This movement emphasizes respecting personal choice, reducing violence and exploitation, and recognizing sex work as legitimate labor deserving of rights and respect.
