International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers

[NinaBrooke]

Hello dear Eccie Members,

I am sure many of you are aware of this special day, i think it`s good - as always - to raise awareness for subcultures in our society and support empowerment of aforementioned:


"December 17th is the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. This event was created to call attention to crimes committed against sex workers all over the globe. Originally conceptualized by Annie Sprinkle and initiated by the Sex Workers Outreach Project USA as a memorial and vigil for the victims of the Green River Killer in Seattle Washington, the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers has empowered workers from cities around the world to come together and organize against discrimination and remember victims of violence. During the week of December 17th, sex worker rights organizations and their allies stage actions and vigils to raise awareness about violence that is commonly committed against sex workers."
