For the Decriminalization of Sex Work

For the Decriminalization of Sex Work

By Keith Reynolds | Dec 20 2016

Protecting and valuing sex workers for the work that they do is important. The Sex Work program of RÉZO has taken the words of some of sex workers and created a powerful poster campaign which challenges people to think about how moralizing and criminalizing sex work puts people in danger.

It also gives a voice to cisgender male and trans sex workers who are ignored in mainstream ideas of sex work.

Sex work is work. It’s time sex workers have the same rights and protections that other workers have. For more information about sex work and supporting sex workers, please visit our partners RÉZO or Health Initiative for Men.
