SPOTLIGHT: UKNSWP information for sex workers

| Print |

Many of our visitors are familiar with the Resources 4 Sex Workers project which the ICRSE and TAMPEP collaborated on and produced in 2008. This is a small website highlighting a "collection of resources to further the health and rights of sex workers... drawn from actions and tools developed across Europe which have been used in sex workers' rights advocacy campaigns," (with Russian and French translation.)

ICRSE member organisation UKNSWP has also produced a great series of downloadable booklets for sex workers that were published in 2009 and which are available from their website.

Directory of Services for sex workers"Directory of services for sex worekrs and other sex worker resources"
This is a UK directory listing of projects "committed to promoting the health of sex workers."So if you need to direct someone involved in sex work to a local support service, or you are involved in sex work and want to contact your local project this will be useful.

Keeping Safe“Keeping Safe: Safety Advice for Sex Workers in the UK"  ¨This booklet has been written for women, men and transgender people working in the UK sex industry. It contains information and advice about keeping safe when working, whether on the streets, in establishments, in your own working flat/home, or escorting to homes or hotels.¨

Men´s guide"Sorted Men: A Guide to Selling  Sex”
"this booklet for men working in the adult entertainment and sex industry. It gives information and guidance to help you stay safe, be informed and know your rights."

While these guides do have a UK focus some of the information will be relevant for sex workers working in other countries or may give you some good tips on how you might produce your own guides for sex workers in your country.

AIDS2010 Human Rights March

| Print |

 

Red umbrellas, banners, whistles, fight and fire, sex workers made an impact at the 2010 Human Rights March held on 20 July during the International Aids Conference. ICRSE members Jasmine and Nina from Austria proudly carried the ICRSE banner. SWAN network members protested against police violence and made a demand for sex work to be acknowledged as work. There was sex worker representation at the conference and the march from all around the world, out, proud and very loud!

Caused by the Refraction - sex workers in Myanmar video

| Print |

Once again the Asia Pacific Network of Sex Workers (APNSW) has produced a great video in cooperation with sex workers and allies in Myanmar. Caused by Refraction ¨gives an inside look at issues facing sex workers in Myanmar, and tells some of the fascinating story of how sex workers have organised and responded to HIV and to claim their rights.¨ NSWP president Andrew Hunter states: "This film shows that even in the most difficult circumstances it is possible for sex workers to organise, run programs and fight for their rights. The Burmese sex workers now run over 19 drop in centres and clinics across the country."

For this and other videos have a look at the sexworkerspresent channel on blip.tv.
