WEDNESDAY 17 DECEMBER 5.30pm VIGIL AT THE DÁIL

December 17th is International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.

Every year, we come together to remember and honour sex workers lost to violence. This gathering is also a call for change.

Today in Labor History June 2, 1975: 100 sex workers occupied that Saint-Nizier church in Lyon to protest against police repression. They demanded that all their convictions be reversed. The police evicted them after a week. However, soon after, a judge cancelled their upcoming prison sentences.
