> UNESOs Message in Commemoration of 3rd March International Sex Workers' Rights Day under the Global Theme "Labour Rights."
> In Uganda, sex work and sex workers’ workplaces are excluded from national labour laws, which creates an environment where sex workers have no option but to accept exploitative working conditions and other targeted human rights violations. The struggle for the recognition of sex work as work is closely tied to the struggle for decriminalisation.
> Decriminalising sex work means that sex workers will no longer be treated as criminals. It brings sex work within a Human Rights framework, enabling sex workers to claim their fundamental rights to health, equality, and freedom from violence. It also ensures they have access to the same labour law protections that all other workers in Uganda are entitled to.
