Yenn dc ☂️> Just like everyone else, people who work in the sex industry want to live and work without being afraid for their safety.
> But for many sex workers, this is not the reality.
> Too often, anti-sex work groups deliberately conflate “sex work” with “human trafficking for sexual exploitation” to fuel stigma and justify harmful laws that increase surveillance, policing and criminalisation of sex workers.
> 👉🏽 Sex work is work. It is when consenting adults provide and receive sexual services in exchange for payment or another agreed form of compensation. Like any other form of work, people’s experiences of sex work are diverse and shaped by their social and economic realities.
> 👉🏽Human trafficking for sexual exploitation, on the other hand, involves the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of people through force, fraud, or deception, with the aim of sexually exploiting them for profit. These abuses can happen in any labour sector, including sex work. They must be prevented and addressed as serious human rights violations of workers, without implying that all sex work is inherently exploitative.
> Confusing sex work with human trafficking for sexual exploitation causes harm to sex workers. Anti-trafficking initiative that do not recognise sex work as distinct from sexual exploitation pushes sex workers further away from the safety and care they deserve. It makes it harder for sex workers to access healthcare, report violence, organise for safer working conditions, or seek legal protection without fear of arrest, detention, or deportation.
> When sex work is recognised as labour and harmful restrictions are removed, it leads to safer workplaces and stronger rights for everyone.
> We support the decriminalisation of sex work and condemn all forms of forced labour and human trafficking. These are human rights violations and must not be conflated with consensual sex work.
