> Every June 2nd we celebrate one of the most important days in the year: International Sex Workers' Day!
> This day marks the anniversary of the legendary occupation of the St Nizier church in Lyon, France, by a group of sex workers. They claimed the church for eight days to demand safety, dignity, and labour rights. Their bravery ignited a global movement that continues to inspire us every year.
> In 2025, at the 50th anniversary of the St Nizier occupation, ESWA organised a region-wide campaign, with events, protests, parties and activities in different cities across Europe and Central Asia. We documented this historic event and turned it into this documentary that shows the diverse beauty, bravery and creativity of our movement.
