We are proud to be one of the 15 organisations making up the European Coalition on Sex Workers’ Rights and Inclusion.

After the first European Sex Workers Alliance (ESWA) congress, a joint statement has been released announcing the launch of the new coalition aiming to end the criminalisation of sex work, protect sex workers from mass surveillance, include sex workers in the development and evaluation of laws, support the self organisation of sex workers, and to fund and support sex workers’ organisations and evidence based and person-centered policy-making.

“The organisations who make up the Coalition are: Aids Action Europe (AAE), Amnesty International, Correlation European Harm Reduction Network (Correlation EHRN), European Aids Treatment Group (EATG), European Digital Rights (EDRi), European Network Against Racism (ENAR), European Sex Workers’ Rights Alliance (ESWA), Equinox – Racial Justice Initiative, Fair Trials, Human Rights Watch, International Planned Parenthood Federation European Network (IPPF EN), International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association Europe (ILGA-Europe), La Strada International (LSI), Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants (PICUM), and Transgender Europe (TGEU).”

We are proud to stand in solidarity with sex workers, sex worker rights defenders, and their organisations. We hope this joint statement helps implement the change which is urgently required.
