“Sex workers across the world are organising against criminalisation, which puts not just their livelihood at risk but their entire lives?and those of their loved ones. They are generally recognised as marginalised and highly vulnerable in today’s societies, embodying multiple layers of stigma because of the work they do, and also because they are often poor, lack formal education, belong to Indigenous or migrant populations, identify as trans or gay, or are single mothers. However, funding to support sex worker organisations and their community mobilisation efforts is scarce… Sex worker organisations call on funders to provide more funding that is long term and covers rent, salaries, trainings, legal services, and advocacy. They also want funders to speak up in support of sex workers? rights.” Written by former Coordinator Nadia van der Linde Time to Turn Up the Volume [Cited as N van der Linde, “Time to Turn Up the Volume”, Anti-Trafficking Review, Anti-Trafficking Review, issue 12, 2019, pp. 194-199, www.antitraffickingreview.org.] Learn More
