Sex Worker Rights as Human Rights: A Conversation on International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers hosted by the International Studies Association
The second seminar in the Global Voices Feminist Theory and Gender Section Seminar Series, “Sex Workers Rights as Human Rights,” takes place on December 17th, the 21st International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. This day was created to bring awareness to the violence sex workers experience due to compounding criminality and stigma. While stigma inflicts violence on sex workers both professionally and interpersonally, state-enforced criminality maintains these conditions of violence. In the face of harm and neglect, sex workers mobilize to advocate for their rights and well-being. In this seminar, we seek to highlight the work scholars, activists and allies are doing to disrupt stigma, combat criminality, and uplift the sex worker community.
MODERATOR: Alisson Rowland (University of California). PANELISTS: Kimberly Soriano (Southern California Library), Pati Morales (Sex Worker Giving Circle & Third Wave Fund), and Ashley Madness (SWOPLA Steering Committee, Secretary and Fundraiser).
