The Sex Workers' Rights Movement

The Sex Workers' Rights Movement advocates for the recognition and protection of the rights of individuals engaged in sex work. It seeks to combat stigma, violence, and discrimination they often face while promoting safety, health access, and legal protections. Supporters argue that sex work should be viewed as legitimate labor, emphasizing the importance of agency and choice for workers. The movement challenges policies that criminalize sex work and argues for decriminalization, regarding it as a critical step toward ensuring safety and rights for those involved in the profession.
