"As sex workers, we demand respect for our consent when we say we choose sex work and when we demand the full decriminalisation of our work for our rights, health and safety."
Phelister Abdalla, during the ID with the SRVAWG. @SexualRights @Ke_swa #HRC59

Also @Phelister at 5:30 driving home the hard fact that @UNSRVAW and others seem determined to ignore, that people who sell sex are their peers and have a right to be treated and respected as such.

Sex workers' rights are human rights!
Jules Kim, Global Coordinator of @GlobalSexWork, calls for the decriminalization of key populations, including sex workers.
Protecting their rights ensures they have access to testing, treatment, and care.

Notre vécu est qu’il y a une incompréhension du travail sexuel, stigmatisation, violences policières, et nous sommes les cibles d’abus car nous sommes considérées comme des personnes sans recours judiciaire, qui peuvent être attaquées en toute impunité. #SexWorkIsWork #HRC56

Sex work ≠ Trafficking. Conflating the two harms workers and perpetuates unsafe conditions. Let's recognize the difference and support the rights of sex workers. @GlobalSexWork

Misusing human rights frameworks like CEDAW to frame sex work solely as exploitation undermines sex workers' rights and safety. It's time to listen to those most affected. @GlobalSexWork #HumanRights #SexWorkIsWork #EndDemandDebate

Decriminalizing sex work means safer environments, less violence, and better access to justice, support, and health services. It's time to protect all workers' rights. @GlobalSexWork

It was tensing to listen to Justice Ngugi today in Kiambu Court as he excruciatively delivered judgement. The three accused persons were found Guilty of murder.
After 6 yrs , justice is finally served for Njambi and her family.

We strongly condemn the decision of the High Court; it is contrary to the Sexual Offences Act, which, in Section 11, says that any person found guilty of inappropriately touching a child must go to jail for at least 10 years. #TotalShutDownKE #EndFemicideKE #WeAreNotSafe
