About International Sex Workers’ Day<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

International Sex Workers’ Day also known as International Whores’ Day was created in order to amplify the voices of those involved in sex work and to highlight the living conditions of sex workers which are often exploitative. <\/span>On 2nd June, 1975, as many as 100 sex workers in France gathered at Lyon\u2019s Saint-Nizier Church and protested against the criminalisation of their work and exploitative living conditions. <\/span><\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

The day acts as a platform to demand equal rights and better access to resources for sex workers<\/a>.<\/span><\/b><\/em><\/p>\n
