Sex workers have suffered heavily under the pandemic because most are excluded from both private and public support.

But donors can change that, says Paul-Gilbert Colletaz

Many Thai women become sex workers not because they are poor, but in order to escape poverty. In doing so, they become providers and heads of households, and they deserve respect for that accomplishment

Today is #InternationalSexWorkersDay - sex workers must not be forgotten in the #COVID19 pandemic and its aftermath. We’ve teamed up with @sexworkeurope and @SWAIIreland to explain why.
Sex workers are already marginalised and the pandemic is making things worse. With lockdowns & social distancing measures many sex workers can’t work; but unlike others they are largely excluded from social protection due to stigma and barriers to accessing help.
Without income through sex work, many struggle to provide food & means of survival for themselves & families. This is especially true for undocumented migrants, racialised, trans or homeless people in the sex industry, who often struggle to access other forms of work or support.
