SAN FRANCISCO The Erotic Service Providers Legal Education and Research Project (ESPLERP) has called upon sex workers, their families, friends and allies, and in fact all of the world s citizens to observe Thursday, Dec. 17, as the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers (IDEVASW), an annual global event that aims to call attention to the violence faced by sex workers because of their criminalized status.
San Francisco Bay Area sex worker groups will be coming together virtually on Dec. 17 to call for the remembrance of sex worker victims, and to call for the decriminalization of sex work and the repeal of California’s prostitution statute, Statute 647(b) of the California Penal Code, which violates sex workers constitutional privacy rights. To join the virtual gathering End Violence Against Sex Workers: Decriminalization, Justice & Compensation, RSVP at this link.
