Sexarbeiter*innen sind kein Rettungsprojekt. Gerade mehrfach marginalisierte Sexarbeiter*innen, die migrantisiert, trans oder schwul sind, erleben massive Gewalt.

Sexarbeiter*innen sind kein Rettungsprojekt. Statt Symbolpolitik fordern wir Mit- und Selbstbestimmung, Schutz vor Diskriminierung sowie nachhaltige Strategien gegen Rassismus, Ausbeutung und Gewalt. Ruby Rebelde, Sexarbeiter*in & Autor*in Gerade mehrfach marginalisierte Sexarbeiter*innen, die migrantisiert, trans oder schwul sind erleben nicht selten Gewalt durch die Polizei, Kund*innen und das eigene Umfeld. Die Mehrheitsgesellschaft will sich diesen Erfahrungen nicht stellen, sondern begnügt sich mit entlastenden aber stigmatisierenden Märchen über Rettungen und Befreiungsaktionen.Gegen Gewalt hilft nicht die Polizei. Gegen Gewalt helfen Selbstorganisation und Arbeitsrechte. Zoe Luginsland, Vorstand Selbstbestimmung Selbstgemacht

Entrechtung bedeutung verstärkte Verletzlichkeit, Stigmatisierung und massive Gewalt. Und Gewalt beginnt nicht erst körperlich, sondern strukturell schon.

#Sexarbeitsrechte #endviolenceagainstsexworkers #RightsNotRescue #Queerfeminismus #Entkriminalisierung #SexarbeitIstArbeit #sexarbeit
Entrechtung bedeutet verstärkte Verletzlichkeit, Stigmatisierung und letztendlich auch eine massive Gefahr für die betroffenen Personen. Wir können Menschen mit Menschenrechten vor Gewalt und Ausbeutung schützen und sie dementsprechend stärken. Christine Nagl, Fachberatungsstelle Pia Salzburg Gewalt gegen Sexarbeiterinnen beginnt nicht erst körperlich. Sie heißt Stigmatisierung, Wohnungsnot und staatliche Kontrolle. Als trans Frau erlebte ich den Druck, meinen Beruf aufzugeben, um als „würdig“ für Wohnraum zu gelten oder länger wohnungslos zu sein. Freiheit ist nicht teilbar. Penelope Alva Frank von Queermany

Mehr Kriminalisierung schützt Sexarbeitende nicht. Selbstbestimmung abzusprechen ist auch Gewalt.

Noch mehr Kriminalisierung schützt Sexarbeitende nicht. Kriminalisierung verdrängt Sexarbeiter*innen und setzt sie mehr Gefahren und Gewalt aus. Was wir brauchen: Arbeitsrechte statt weiterer Repression. Wir fordern Entkriminalisierung, Arbeitsrechte und echten Schutz." Jenny, Vorstand Hydra e.V. Gewalt gegen Sexarbeitende ist auch, ihnen die Selbstbestimmung abzusprechen und sie als Opfer zu inszenieren. Susanne Kock, Vorstand bufaS

Subscribing 💯 to basically every word, both in the infographics and in the brief.

Sex workers need #RightsNotRescue, and access to justice. Neither is available yet.

“They never come when you call them.” ‣ New Research: «Sex Workers' Experiences as Victims of Crime». [logo: ESWA] ‣ The police fails to intervene 65% of the time when sex workers report violence. Being neglected after calling for help is a common experience, especially for racialised sex workers. “The girls try to stop the police, but when they stop and see that we are black, they drive off.” — Loy, Switzerland Sometimes instead of helping, the police further assault sex workers. “I told them that I had been assaulted, but the police whent straight to me and beat me up.” — Cesibel, Spain Due to criminalisation and stigma, sex workers are reoutinely treated as suspects rather than victims. Police officers frequently take the side of the perpetrator. December 17th is the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Worers. But the police are not a safe or appropriate source of support for sex workers. ‣ We need: • Decriminalisation of sex work and removal of laws targeting sex workers. • A transformative justice approach. • Funding for community care instead of the police. • Police accountability.

Sexarbeiter*innen wollen keine Verbote der Nachfrage. Sie brauchen Rechte, Sicherheit, Gesundheitsversorgung und freiwillige, gut ausgestattete akzeptierende Beratungsstellen und Umstiegsangebote.
Deshalb: Entkriminalisierung statt mehr Strafen!

Show us your DIY custom designed sex toys!

We'll start:
Ingrid Mouth wears a black leather strap-on harness that's been painted to read "Rights Not Rescue" (#RightsNotRescue). The toy in the harness is a white dildo with stripes mimicking popular tube sock patterns. They kneel on a bed with tan sheets. Watermark on the picture says CrashPadSeries.com.

Mandy was standing outside a 7-Eleven at dusk, texting a friend for a ride. A cop rolled by slow, then circled back. She didn’t know that waving at a car—her friend’s car—would count as "intent to solicit."

Within an hour, she was in handcuffs. By morning, she was a case number.

What is the difference between Sex Work and Sex Trafficking? Human trafficking is an egregious human rights violation involving the threat or use of force, abduction, deception, or other forms of coercion for the purpose of exploitation. This may include forced labor, sexual exploitation, slavery, and more. Sex work, on the other hand, is a consensual transaction between adults, where the act of selling or buying sexual services is not a violation of human rights.

Now onto OTP/A on the bill as amended. I will be voting against it, as I have listened to what sex workers actually want in this regards, and that's #RightsNotRescue
