    Peter Sutcliffe the Yorkshire Ripper is dead. We remember the 13 women he murdered & official disregard for sex workers' lives that left him free to kill again & again. With @AgainstRape we picketed the high court to protest the handling of the case by the court, police & media.

    Sending love & power to sex workers around the world on #InternationalWhoresDay ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏼 2 June marks the day in 1975 when 150+ sex workers occupied the Church of St. Nizier in Lyon, France. A banner was hung over the church façade 'Our children don't want their mothers in prison'

    VICTORY ‼️ Proposal for Newham’s Public Space Protection Order has been scrapped! We told the council that it would put sex workers at more risk of violence, criminalise women for trying to make a living, & be a dangerous expansion of police powers . . . and they listened!

    On 2 June 1975, following a series of brutal attacks & police crackdowns, over 100 sex workers occupied the Church of St. Nizier in Lyon, France. A banner hung over the church façade 'Our children don't want their mothers in prison’ #InternationalWhoresDay #IWD2020 #ISWD2020

    40 years ago today, 15 women from the ECP entered Holy Cross Church during a service. When it ended, they told the vicar they were staying and erected a banner ‘Mothers Need Money; End Police Illegality & Racism in King’s Cross’. ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏼 prostitutescollective.net/church-occupat… #ECParchive

    International Women's Day Sex/Work strike! Tonight we’re striking against the racist, sexist criminal laws that jeopardise the lives of sex workers. We demand decriminalisation & money in women’s hands so we can leave prostitution if & when we want! #8M #IWD #IWD2022

    Trans people globally live under the constant threat of violence & for trans sex workers this is heightened by illegality & stigma. This #TDOR2021 we’re sharing a short statement from a migrant trans woman in our network on how criminalisation impacts sex workers' safety #TDOR

    Today is #InternationalSexWorkersRightsDay. Covid has devastated sex workers’ lives -- our incomes have disappeared, violence and police raids/arrests continue and more women have been pushed into destitution & homelessness.

    On #InternationalWhoresDay we pay tribute to the women of the 1975 St. Nizier Church occupation in Lyon, France who protested serial murders and police & government abuse of sex workers. These injustices -- and our struggle against them – continue #InternationalSexWorkersDay

    As in 1975, we demand decriminalisation. It was introduced in New Zealand in 2003, with verifiable success; we want it here! #InternationalWhoresDay #InternationalSexWorkersDay #IWD #ISWD #Decrim pledgedecrim.com
