> «ACCESS TO JUSTICE»
> This is the theme of the INTERNATIONAL SEX WORKERS' DAY 2026.
> TAMPEP calls for an immediate end of the stigmatization of sex workers! Together with sex workers across Europe, we ask for equal rights.
> The working and living conditions of sex workers in Europe, mainly migrant sex workers, remain characterized by precarious circumstances. Discrimination, stigmatization and the increasing call for restrictive laws, particularly at EU level, are further exacerbating the situation.
> Sex workers’ communities, worldwide, therefore commemorate that day to call attention and make demands.
-
> 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.
-
> International Sex Workers' Rights Day. Sex work is work.
> We demand the full recognition, protection, and fulfilment of sex workers' labour, health, and human rights in law and policy.
> Nothing about sex workers without sex workers. Sex workers are organisers, leaders, and agents of change. Their voices must be at the centre of all decisions that affect their lives.
> We reject all forms of criminalisation of sex work. We reject the ongoing conflation of sex work with trafficking and gender-based violence, narratives that fuel stigma, increase harm, and strip people of rights and safety. Sex workers' rights are human rights!
> Today, we amplify the voices of TGEU Board Members Tayri Fadil (she/her) and Alex Shah (she/her).
> “Today we honour SWers leading the struggle. We demand full decriminalisation, labour rights, and legal protection for migrant and trans SWers. End police harassment and persecution. Solidarity, resistance, and collective power until we win justice and safety for all SWers.” — Tayri Fadil
> “On this day, we amplify the political demands of sex workers for full decriminalisation, labour recognition, social protection, migration justice, and freedom from state violence, surveillance, and stigma. This day is a transnational call for bodily autonomy, intersectional justice, and the unequivocal protection of sex workers’ human rights. Sex workers are the ancient, present, and future of labour.” — Alex Shah
