On this International Day to End Violence Against Sx Workers, listen to ESWA calling for:

A transformative justice framework.

Decriminalisation of sx work.

Strong and well-funded community care structures.
December 17th is the International Day to End Violence Againts Sx Workers.

But how can we achieve this goal when the very people trusted with protecting us ignore our calls for help, take the side of the perpetrators, or assault us themselves?
