On the 2nd of June 1975, over 100 sex workers began an 8-day occupation of Saint-Nizier Church in Lyon, France. They demanded an end to stigma, police harassment and child removal. They demanded justice for those who had experienced violence and expressed anger about their criminalised and exploitative living conditions. This day marked the start of an international movement.
