Today is the 25th Anniversary of International Sex Workers’ Rights Day!

Push back against the criminalization of sex work, celebrate and support workers, and help defend the rights of everyone who exchanges money, goods, or services for their sexual or erotic labour.
A red umbrella, the symbol for sex workers' rights, is in the centre of the image against a white background. A large version of WISH's pink dahlia logo is surrounding the umbrella against a red background. On the left side of the dahlia "MARCH 3" is written in white letters and "#ISWRD" is on the right side, also in white.

If u have ADHD, do u also suffer from a circadian rhythm disorder? I was diagnosed w/ISWRD a few years ago (prev diagnosed w/simple insomnia) & adopting chronotherapeutic polyphasic sleep has been liberating. My insomnia is really a symptom of ADHD, hyperfocus builds from when I wake, plateaus ~8hr.

«3 March: International Sex Workers' Rights Day» Joint statement by organizations working with and for trans communities. 3 March marks the anniversary of the historic march launched by thousands of sex workers in India in 2001 to demand their rights! Today, from Türkiye, we salute the legacy of that struggle. March 3 is not merely a date on the calendar; it symbolizes a global voice raised for the recognition of sex workers' labor, for working conditions free from violence, and for the demand for equal citizenship. Yet we commemorate this meaningful day amid acute rights violations in Türkiye, intensified under the declaration of the “Year of t he Family” which directly targets the living and working spaces of sex workers. Today, sex workers are subjected to systematic repression under vague justifications such as “public morality” and “public order”. Over the past year, this regime of pressure in Türkiye has evolved into a process in which arbitrary home sealings have become normalized, judicial harassment and open targeting have increased, and allegations of ‘obscenity’ have been transformed into systematic tools of punishment for sex workers. Our constitutional right to housing is being violated through unlawful home sealings; sex workers pushed onto the streets are exposed to economic violence through arbitrary and unjust administrative fines imposed under the Misdemeanors Law. Efforts to exist and create working spaces in digital spheres are also criminalized; social media posts and online communication activities are used as grounds for investigations and prosecutions under claims of “obscenity” and “immorality”, keeping sex workers under constant threat of judicial harassment. These punitive practices not only push sex workers into deeper poverty but also render them unprotected and vulnerable to hate crimes, physical violence, and systematic abuse. For trans sex workers, these violations intersect with social exclusion and employment discrimination, resulting in even harsher isolation and life-threatening risks. As organizations working with and for trans communities, we firmly assert that sex workers are entitles to full and equal rights, and that our labor must be legally recognized and protected. The closure of safe working spaces, the sealing of brothels, and policies that force people into unregistered and precarious work disregard occupational safety and endanger our lives. We raise our voices against all arbitrary and unlawful practices, against stigmatizing language, and against impunity policies that fuel violence. On this March 3, we once again declare: In the face of criminalization and isolation, our greatest strength is our organized struggle and solidarity. We will continue to defend one another's rights and stand shoulder to shoulder in courts, in the streets, and in every sphere of life. We will not give up our right to and desire for an equal, just, and violence-free life. For our rights and our lives, we stand side by side! --- • Pink Life LGBTI+ Solidarity Association. • Red Umbrella Sexual Health and Human Rights Association. • 20 November Association Against Hate Crimes. • Mersin LGTB 7 Colors Research and Solidarity Association. • Kapsama Alanı. Signatory International Organizations: • SWAN: The Sex Workers' Rights Advocacy Network. • ESWA: European Sex Workers' Rights Alliance. • Red Umbrella Athens.

3 de marzo Día Internacional por los Derechos de las Trabajadoras Sexuales. ¡Derechos no rescate! ‣ ¿Qué pasa hoy? Celebramos el Día Internacional por los derechos de las trabajadoras sexuales. Esta fecha fue creada en Kolkata, India por el Comité Durbar Mahila Samanwaya (durbar en bengalí significa invencible) (DMSC), un colectivo de base formado por aproximadamente 60000 trabajadoras sexuales. El Comité Durbar Mahila Samanwaya lleva activo des de su creación en 1995 abordando las barreras sociales culturales y estructurales que enmarcan la vida y la profesión de las trabajadoras sexuales. Durbar fue creado por trabajadoras sexuales que participaban en el Programa de Intervención para el VIH llamado el Proyecto Sonagachi y en 1999 asumieron la gestión del Proyecto Sonagachi y actualmente gestiona programas de Intervención para las ETS/VIH en 49 centros de trabajo sexual Bengala Occidental. ‣ Estigma puta. El 3 de marzo de 2001 convocaron un festival de tres días llamado Millennium Milan Mela (Kolkata Sex Worker Freedom Festival) en el cual buscaban reunir a trabajadoras sexuales y aliades para discutir derechos humanos, salud, despenalización, celebrar la existencia de las trabajadoras sexuales y exigir sus derechos. Múltiples grupos prohibicionistas intentaros evitar que el festivas sucedira bajo premisas como que "un festivas organizado por y para trabajadores sexuales era una afrenta directa a la moralidad pública" llegando a presionar al gobierno indio para que revocara el permiso del festival. [Imagen de un fragmento de periódico en inglés, titulado «25000 prostitutas se reunen para el carnaval el Calcuta», y subtitulado “Las trabajadoras sexuales luchan por reconocimiento laboral”.] ‣ Desde Aprosex exigimos: 1. El trabajo sexual debe ser reconocido como trabajo en igualdad de condiciones, garantizando derechos laborales, protección social, jubilación y acceso a la Seguridad Social. 2. El trabajo sexual ejercido por personas adultas de forma libre y consentida debe ser despenalizado y no perseguido administrativamente. 3. Las personas adultas que ejercen el trabajo sexual deben tener derecho a la movilidad, residencia y migración sin que su actividad implique automáticamente la irregularidad administrativa, la exclusión social o el riesgo de expulsión. 4. Debe cesar toda forma de violencia física, verbal, psicológica, institucional, policial y social contra las personas trabajo sexuales. 5. Ningua personas ni sus hijes deben sufrir discriminación por el ejercicio del trabajo sexual. 6. Las intervenciones públicas como redadas, rescates forzosos o programas obligatorios deben respetar el consentimiento y la autonomía personal. 7. Debe garantizarse el acceso universal y libre de estigma a la atención sanitaria pública. 8. Les trabajadores sexuales deben poder ejercer su derecho a la asociación y a la defensa colectiva de sus intereses. 9. Las políticas públicas deben centrarse en la lucha efectiva contra la trata con fines de explotación sexual, protegiendo a las víctimas sin criminalizar ni invisibilizar a quienes ejercen de forma voluntaria. 10. Quienes deseen abandonar el trabajo sexual deben tener acceso a alternativas reales, voluntarias y dignas.
