A Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers

On The Dresser

We're ending the year with a look at December 17th. Since 2003, the date has been recognized in the sex worker community as International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. Started by Annie Sprinkle, Robin Few and organizers with the Sex Workers outreach project s a way to memorialize the victims of a serial killer who targeted sex workers in Seattle, it has grown as community call to action with observances in over 60 cities worldwide: Annie sent us one of her writings on concieving the action. https://rewire.news/article/2008/12/08/stopping-terror-a-day-to-end-violence-against-prostitutes/ Interviews with: Kate D'Adamo - twitter.com/KateDAdamo Savannah Sly - twitter.com/SavannahSly Suprihmbe - twitter.com/thotscholar, patreon.com/thotscholar To see a list of names of sex workers murdered around the world in 2018 and/or find an event near you, visit www.December17.org More show notes to follow!
