International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers Dublin and Belfast

[Catriona]

Hi everyone,

So I thought some of you might be interested in coming to either of those events:

Dublin: https://www.facebook.com/events/7761...ref=ts&fref=ts

Belfast: https://www.facebook.com/events/2986...ref=ts&fref=ts

December 17th is International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. Sex workers and their allies around the world will be taking action in the on-going struggle for empowerment, visibility, and rights for all sex workers.

The Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers was first recognized in 2003 as a memorial and vigil for the victims of the Green River Killer in Seattle Washington. Since 2003, the Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers has empowered people from cities around the world to come together and organise against discrimination and remember victims of violence.

There will be masks provided at both events for those concerned for their identity.

Dublin will be paying particular note to the 8 known sex workers, who have been murdered in Ireland. We will also be paying special tribute to Petite Jasmine, a sex worker in Sweden who was a victim of the Swedish Model.

Note: Dublin would have been later so people could come by after work, but unfortunately there's another rally planned at 7pm, so it had to be moved to 6pm.

The Dublin event will be on the Sex Workers Alliance Ireland's website later on today and will link as soon as it is up.
