Timeline of @whorephobia today is dedicated to sex workers who were violently killed. It is horribly long.

yesterday in france a sex worker was forcibly arrested for giving out condoms to other sex workers. this recent push for increased stigmatisation of sex workers should be stopped

There's a candle lit vigil to be held this evening actually, I wonder how many people will turn up, it's all well and good to sit in your comfy chair behind a computer, but you have the chance to publicly support this.

Or is it just all talk on the forums and not actual activism.

I'm going to the one outside Belfast City Hall at 5pm today. It's important that as many as possible show their support.

Thanks everyone who came out. It meant a lot and we got a lot of media coverage so I am very happy how things went.
