Happy International Women’s Day! 🌷

Heute feiern wir die Stärke, Kompetenz und Innovationskraft von Frauen - weltweit.

Vielfalt ist für uns kein Schlagwort, sondern ein Erfolgsfaktor. Wir setzen uns für Chancengleichheit, gegenseitigen Respekt und echte Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten ein – heute und an jedem anderen Tag im Jahr.

Danke an all die inspirierenden Frauen, die unsere Branche und unser Unternehmen jeden Tag mitgestalten.

In March we have observed the International Sex Workers’ Rights Day,¹ International Women’s Day,² and Trans Day of Visibility.

For the Trans Day of Visibility, ESWA has joined the video campaign of TGEU - Transgender Europe and Central Asia, centering trans voices talking about the invisibilised aspects of their lives. To highlight intersections between sex workers’ rights and trans rights, sex worker’s rights activist Ines Anttila and ESWA Director of Communication and Campaigns Wszebor Sienkiewicz sent their contributions. You can see the campaign videos on TGEU’s instagram.

Thank you everyone who joined the premiere and live stream of the community video on what sex workers wish the world knew. Being together, even in this small capacity, made the International Sex Workers’ Day on March 3rd special. For those of you who missed the video, check it out on ESWA YouTube.¹

Attached: 2 images ESWA's community video premiere: «What Sex Workers Wish the World Knew» 🗓 Tuesday 3rd, March 2026 🕒 15:00 CET 💻 Online (with live chat) 🌐 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOp1q9x2qRw 👈 🎂 25º Sex Workers' Rights Day > Sex work is always a hot topic, but hardly ever covered by those who actually live its realities. > While film studios, directors and journalists profit off our stories, sex workers' voices remain silenced and gaslit. Views on sex work are shaped by a distorted caricature of our industry produced by mainstream media. Those mindsets lead to harmful legislation, discrimination and violence. > This community video, initiated on Sex Workers' Pride and premiering on Sex Workers' Rights Day, aims to counter stereotypes with real lived experiences. Sex workers share what they wish the world knew about us and our work. #SexWork #ESWA #CommunityVideo #SexWorkersRightsDay #Europe #March2026

This's pretty great by Eleanor Courtemanche on why British suffragettes were more violent than their US counterparts

'The moment when the fight for the women’s vote in Britain flipped from its longstanding commitment to nonviolence to a campaign of bombing and arson (from about 1912-1914) falls into a peculiar historical blind spot. It doesn’t fit in neatly to the liberal heroic narrative about how women organized peacefully in vast rallies...It doesn’t really fit the leftist narrative of these years either'

Why was the British women’s suffrage movement more violent than the American one?

This post is an edited version of a talk I gave at the VISAWUS conference at St. Louis University on October 3, 2025. It’s more of a straight-up take on Victorian history than I usually post here, …

I wrote this poem for a magazine that had the theme of ‘devour’ this month. I think I was inspired reading Hekate.

«Give to Gain: Celebrating the Leadership and Resilience of Sex Workers Across Africa»

ASWA's 8M declaration. 💖💞💕

👠✊🔥

📰 https://home.aswaalliance.org/2026/03/08/give-to-gain-celebrating-the-leadership-and-resilience-of-sex-workers-across-africa/

> On this International Women’s Day, the African Sex Workers Alliance (ASWA) joins women’s rights movements around the world in celebrating the strength, leadership, and resilience of women and girls. This year’s theme, Give to Gain reflects a powerful truth within social justice movements: when women support, uplift, and invest in one another, progress becomes possible.

> For sex workers across Africa, giving has always been at the center of our movement. As sex workers we continue to give our voices to demand justice, give our leadership to strengthen community organizing, and give our solidarity to ensure that no one is left behind. Through this collective commitment, sex workers are building stronger communities, advancing health and human rights, and challenging the stigma and discrimination that continue to shape our lives.

> Across the continent, sex workers are leading advocacy efforts, supporting one another through peer led initiatives, and working tirelessly to ensure that our rights and dignity are recognized. These contributions are vital to the broader struggle for gender equality, social justice, and human rights.

> However, many sex workers still face violence, criminalization, and systemic exclusion from policies and programs meant to protect women. Achieving true gender equality requires acknowledging and addressing these injustices. It requires recognizing sex workers as leaders, community organizers, and human rights defenders whose voices and experiences must be part of decision making spaces.

> On this International Women’s Day, ASWA calls on governments, civil society, development partners, and feminist movements to stand in solidarity with sex workers and commit to policies and practices that protect our rights, safety, and dignity.

> When sex workers are supported to lead, organize, and advocate, entire communities benefit.

> This International Women’s Day let us remember when women give solidarity, leadership, and courage to one another, we all gain a more just, inclusive, and equal world.

> Together, we give. Together, we gain.
