How we end violence against sex workers | Red Pepper

How we end violence against sex workers

Criminalisation, poverty and the hostile environment are roots of violence against sex workers. It’s time to end them all, say Niki Adams an

Since 2003, those of us involved in the movement for sex workers’ rights have commemorated 17 December as the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. It is a day of mourning, when we remember the precious lives lost, and a day of resistance, when we draw strength from each other to continue our struggles for justice.

This 17 December arrives in the context of grief and fury over the murders of Sarah Everard, Sabina Nessa, and Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman. As people have clamoured for change, the appalling police response to rape and other violence, and their institutionalised cover-ups, have been laid bare: Between 2016 and 2020, there were over 500 cases of proven sexual misconduct by police.

Sex workers have been speaking about police and establishment complicity in violence for decades – next year will be 40 years since the English Collective of Prostitutes occupied the Holy Cross church in King’s Cross to protest police illegality and racism – but their words have largely fallen on deaf ears.

Amid recent public outcry and encouraging mobilisations, however, lie possibilities for a reckoning that is long overdue. But, in order for sex workers to be acknowledged as victims when they experience violence – and for the particular barriers to them accessing justice to be addressed – we must examine how criminalisation of sex work undermines safety.

[Text ID :

A TikTok video made by @shinanova shows a woman in a black sleeveless shirt, dangling white (feather? fur?) earrings, and a gray fur cuff on her wrist pointing to captions between still photos illustrating the issue. Soft electronic music plays on the background.

Captions read : "Did you know how insanely expensive food costs in indigenous communities?"

Cartons of strawberries are shown on grocery shelves for 14.39. Kraft smooth peanut butter jars for 11.19. Bottles of Heinz ketchup for 16.79. Bags of green grapes for 28.19. Photos of protestors follow : Two tall men in ball caps and a third, shorter person in a fur lined hood. The man in the middle holds two signs on pieces of cardboard that read "Stop the crazy prices!" and "I have to feed my family!" The third person also holds a sign on a large yellow piece of posterboard, but the text is cut off by the framing. Two more people holding signs on orange and yellow posterboards, respectively. Posters read "High cost food in Nunavut" and "Food is expensive in Nunavut". Returning to the woman making the video, she points to more captions : "What can you do? Spread awareness about the issue. Support Indigenous People's and donate. Share the causes you find most important at Www.UnwreckTheFuture.Com to fight food insecurity" followed by an emoji of a solidarity/fight the power fist (hand closed into a fist, viewed from the thumb curled in front of the knuckles)

hi op here please try to reblog the version with the id now please

[dicapito2-deactivated20230424]

The way media and politicians are acting about the new variant is actually indeed pretty damn racist.

[dicapito2-deactivated20230424]

Either ban all travel to each and every country or shut up. All the countries trying to panic about South Africa when they hoarded the vaccines themselves is just pitiful and a shit move.

[vikkidc92]

Especially since these other countries have the variant and South Africa was just the first to identify it

The amount of people that recognized how wrong it was to blame China, but have decided to change their tone with South Africa is predictable, but trifling nonetheless

[kefnut-the-gweilologist]

the kicker is that the travel ban is on South African ppl and not US citizens. like last i checked, viruses don’t check passports

like as far as i can tell there’s nothing stopping this countires scores of willfully unvaxed gweilos from going to s africa and spreading whatever covid strains there

[fusdoq]

as someone put it clearly

[rhokotela]

I logged in to tumblr specifically to say this and imagine how pleased I was to find it immediately on my dash.

We are being responsible, ethical, global citizens by having an intensive surveillance programme that immediately communicated relevant, transparent and complete information to the rest of the world, and we get an instant ban for it? We lost billions in tourism revenue for it? Instantly? No.

We get punishment? We get racism? No, guys this isn’t on. I’d be loud and upset about it but I’m already up to my ungloved elbows seeing patients in nothing but the same surgical mask I’ve been using all week, so I don’t have the fucking time.

I AM WHEEZING

[tf2mobilegame]

not to get political but im begging you guys to stop coming to hawaii. in maui theyre asking to put a ‘pause’ on flights bc we literally do not have enough room or staff to service you. the roads are so full that its causing a major backup when ppl need to get to work.

on top of this, i heard that by September? theyre expecting to get rid of the mask rule (if 70% of ppl are vaccinated/all goes well) but ill be honest w/ you, i know many locals arent getting the vaccine and i know plenty of tourist arent gonna take the necessary precautions.

[oh-okay-kay]

homeless hawaiians aren’t even allowed to sit or lay on sidewalks to keep up the “paradise” image for tourists

[tf2mobilegame]

“Hawai‘i has the highest rate of homelessness per capita among the 50 states” (another source)

do you remember when zuckerburg bought hawaiian land in kauai? then filed lawsuits agasint families that lived their? that land BELONGS to the natives and its extremly harmful to the community.

at this very moment, hawaii is one of the most EXPENSIVE places to live on top of not having a liveable minimum wage ($10.10) this is why many children still live w/ their parents (+ having no space) in order to SURVIVE here, youd have to work full time for at least $15.50 (more links)

in this article it states that “The Living Wage Calculator from the MIT says that one adult in Honolulu needs to make $16.59 per hour for a living wage. If that is a couple with 2 children, each adult needs to make $17.70 per hour.”

everything is more EXPENSIVE; food, household appliances, clothing, etc bc everything is shipped there.

“the median price for a single family home in Hawaii was $885K. Condos are selling at a median of $454K.”

“Average rent in Hawaii (Oahu) for a studio will vary based on location but expect to pay around $1,670 with Waikiki studios going from $1,400 to about $1,700.  Average rent for one bedroom apartments in Hawaii (Honolulu, Oahu)  is $1,743”

[friedchiliflakess]

PLEASE stop vacationing in / moving to the occupied Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. You are actively participating in violent settler colonialism when you do, even if you aren’t white. Never in my whole life have I seen our airport THIS packed!!! Our islands cannot support this many people – especially during our dry season and in the middle of a PANDEMIC!

Tourism makes it impossible to keep up with the rising cost of living. It brings in revenue and with that, becomes the fake state’s priority. Tourism pushes native Hawaiians from their land and homes, puts locals at risk for covid19, directly harms the delicate environment and native species here, houseless folk (many whom are native Hawaiian) are being illegally swept to make room for tourists at beaches, and locals are being restricted and fined for using water on east Maui, all while hotels can use up all the resources no problem and our government approves a million dollar home construction for new part-time residents (when locals who have been here for generations are being thrown into poverty, barely staying afloat, losing businesses and even their homes). “Hawai’i has become the Blood Diamond of the Pacific. We are mined for our splendor, and our residents live the every day, complex consequences.” 

It’s absolutely VILE what is happening here. I hope yall know that Hawaiʻi was overthrown and occupied by the US military, and isn’t even legally a state! Hawaiʻi is not your vacation spot, so you better tell your family and friends to stay at home.

Here is a linktree by my friend with petitions to protect sacred, native Hawaiian land on Kauaʻi and Molokaʻi. Sign them.

Here are a few Kānaka Maoli (native Hawaiian) folk in need you can donate to (if you know more please add to my thread!)

hey please stop reblogging this post:

The post has about 15k notes at the moment and I have been seeing it on my dash frequently. I clicked one of the links because I did want to inform myself and i encountered this:

In one paragraph there are no less than TWO prominent antisemitic tropes (the idea that Jewish people are socio-economically advantaged and that they use the Holocaust to get what they want.) This isn’t subtle. I wouldn’t be surprised if other links on the post ended up being anti-semitic too, considering op’s willingness to add this one.

This is just part of a larger issue of anti-semitism in discussions of i/p. Yes, you can be anti-zionist without being anti-semitic but to do so you have to make an effort, you cannot just spout old anti-semitic conspiracy theories and then say “oh it’s just anti-zionist so its ok.” Even if you don’t care about jews, at least avoid being blatantly anti-semitic so that your talking points are taken seriously.

I hate to be That Guy who guilt trips people into reblogging but if you aren’t Jewish and are posting a lot about i/p, I implore you to reblog this. Please don’t harass op or anyone who rb’d the post i referenced though because i doubt they actually read the links lol.

[leonardo-nierman]

the op of that post (though brandon isn’t on tumblr anymore lol) is a white american catholic who jewfaked for a couple of years before doing a hardcore heelturn into “antizionism” and is directly responsible for helping turn the general goy tumblr view on antisemitism into “lolol zionist tears” and encouraging people to dismiss jewish history as lies

Believe it or not, we started 2020 with the proposition of Hope-Punk, the possibilities that could emerge through the disposition of hope. Throughout this year, we’ve explored how Dungeons and Dragons informs our anthropological research; what Westworld can teach us about cultural revitalization projects; representations of archaeological ethics in video games; what exactly it means to “do”…
