sex work advocacy

Sex work advocacy involves supporting the rights, safety, and well-being of individuals engaged in consensual sex work. Advocates promote decriminalization or legalization to reduce stigma, violence, and exploitation, and to ensure access to health services and labor protections. They aim to empower sex workers, uphold their human rights, and challenge policies that criminalize or marginalize them. By fostering understanding and respect, advocacy seeks healthier, safer conditions within the industry and recognizes sex work as a legitimate form of work deserving of legal and social recognition.
