PASS Certified @passcertified.bskyverified.social · 6mo ago

Today is International Sex Worker Rights Day. Stay safe, stay strong, stay PASS Certified. ✅

A graphic that features a hand holding a megaphone & the following text:

"March 3rd is International Sex Worker Rights Day

This marks the 25th anniversary of the 2001 festival in Kolkata, India, where over 25,000 sex workers gathered, despite opposition from prohibitionist groups that pressured the government to revoke their permit.

Today, as the current administration’s deep cuts to Title X & Medicaid gut public STI programs & reproductive care, the sexual economy is being pushed into a corner.

As a self-regulatory body, PASS:

Provides industry-standard STI testing policies that public systems are abandoning.

Advocates for workers whose safety is most at risk under these new federal restrictions.

Builds policies through a diverse community of volunteer public & sexual health practitioners, researchers, & adult industry workers - NOT by a government that seeks to ignore us.

Stay safe, stay strong, stay PASS Certified.

Scarlet Alliance, Australian Sex Workers Association @scarletalliance.bsky.social · 6mo ago

On International Sex Workers' Rights Day we reiterate the importance of decriminalisation of sex work. Sex work is work! And there is still much more to do before it is recognised as such in Australia. Read our decriminalisation briefing paper scarletalliance.org.au/wp-content/u...

Today is International Sex Workers’ Rights Day
Sex work is work, and sex workers deserve respect, equality, and the same rights and protections as all workers.
On 3 March 2001, over 25,000 sex workers in India gathered for the Kolkata Sex Worker Freedom Festival to advocate for sex worker rights, including safety at work. Prohibitionist groups tried to prevent the festival from taking place by pressuring the government to revoke the group’s permit, but were unsuccessful.

Since then, 3 March has become an important date to promote sex worker rights, highlighting the need for sex work to be recognised as legitimate work and for sex workers to be protected under the law. Recognising sex work as work is a vital step towards fighting for decriminalisation, anti-discrimination protections and labour rights.

Did you know that in some parts of unceded Australia, sex work and sex workers are still criminalised?

The fight for sex work to be recognised as real work in Australia is far from over. Until all sex workers are free from discrimination, stigma and criminalisation, none of us are truly free.

But I thought sex work was “legal” in Australia?
Decriminalisation removes laws and penalties criminalising all aspects of sex work between consenting adults. Sex work is then covered under existing health and safety laws.
Legalisation involves laws and regulations permitting sex work under certain conditions, while all other sex work remains criminalised. Under legalisation, governments impose special regulations just for the sex industry.
Sex work is partially criminalised in WA
Full criminalisation in SA

We will be presenting radical and revolutionary SWer art, historical context, and helping to guide a deep and supportive reflection on self-identity-community and how violence and creativity shape our lives.

Participants are invited to process however they feel comfortable. You are invited to create in the moment, take notes for future works, or simply be present and experience it.

Both sessions will feature opportunities to share and support community and will feature a Reading of the Names and a Grief Ritual.
