SWs at a Gembloux s*x club will receive full employment rights thanks to a law passed in Dec 2024 that allows SWs to work legally as self employees, and under straightforward employment contracts. Employees are entitled to full access to Belgium’s social security system.

If this isn’t a strong argument to destigmatize and decriminalize s*x work, we don’t know what is. Organizations dedicated to migrant rights can’t advocate for migrant s*x workers if they don’t believe s*x workers have rights. We have to change this narrative!

"Laws originally designed to target sex workers have historically always been later applied to all kinds of people, which is why we have always been canaries in the coal mine." @oldprosonline on The American Plan. tryst.link/blog/old-pros-…
We recently participating in a panel discussion hosted by @oldprosonline & Aylo about #HumanTrafficking vs #SexWork & why it's important to understand the difference.
Dame Emma Thompson has said s*x should be recommended by the NHS because it’s “so good for you” while speaking at a screening of her 2022 film Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, in which her widowed character hires a s*x worker.

PGH City Council has reduced the minimum penalty for individuals convicted of engaging in s*x work, downgrading the offense from a misdemeanor to a summary offense. This victory is because of the SWs of Pittsburgh, including the Pittsburgh Coalition for Safer SW & @SWOONalliance.

May 28th, a City Council committee met to discuss the “brothel” case, & the conversation about SW & s*x trafficking turned into a complex discussion about decrim. All 11 public speakers spoke in support of decrim, & shared personal stories & statements on behalf of SWs.

Some Pittsburgh City Council members want to reduce the penalties for s*x work from jail time to a fine. This is absolutely a step in the right direction and is the result of years of advocacy from Pittsburgh based SWers.
