Prostitution Information Center (PIC) informs about sex work & the Amsterdam Light District. Respect sex workers! ❤️ Open Wed-Saturday 12-17 hrs ❤️ #Belle #BelleStatue #SexWorkIsWork #Decrim

"Decriminalisation markedly improves working conditions and facilitates the development of sex worker-led official OHS guidelines. In contrast, legalisation can perpetuate many of the OHS barriers associated with criminalisation." #sexworkiswork #sexwork #decrim

Sex workers remain overwhelmingly excluded from occupational health and safety (OHS) protections due to continued criminalisation and stigmatisation of sex work. Let's do something about it 💪 www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

"Yves Jeanrenaud, who made the app, said he was in part inspired to make Nearby Glasses after reading... how Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses have been used in immigration raids and to film and harass sex workers." @swdigitaal.bsky.social

I have been expressing desire for an app that alerts me to the presence of pervert glasses in my vicinity. It exists and it's called Nearby Glasses! Immediate download.

Here's the biggest misunderstanding: sex workers do not want to decriminalize violent clients. Violence is already illegal. Coercion, stalking, trafficking are already crimes. Full decriminalization doesn't touch those laws. It removes criminal penalties for the consensual exchange itself.

Ever notice how critics of sex work talk about empowerment more often than sex workers do? Sex workers are trying to fight for rights; critics are telling us don't deserve them unless we claim work is inherently empowering. it is interesting that this standard doesn't seem to apply to anyone else.

Quote uit onderstaand artikel, waar ik persoonlijk blij van werd: Misschien heb je zelf gekozen voor dit werk. Toch mag niemand misbruik maken van jou, jouw geld of jouw gevoelens. Je staat er niet alleen voor. nos.nl/nieuwsuur/ar...

Oproep politie aan Roemeense sekswerkers op Wallen: meld je als je wordt uitgebuit

Op de Amsterdamse Wallen wemelde het gisteren van de agenten: ze proberen een mensenhandelnetwerk met wortels in Roemenië op te rollen.
