12.17.10–International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers

In honor of International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers, Women With A Vision, Inc. cordially invites you to join us as we celebrate the hard earned achievements of our members harmed by Louisiana’s Solicitation of Crime Against Nature statue.

Over the past year we have been working diligently in addressing the needs of women impacted by this statue—mobilizing resources and opportunities to better serve their needs, advocating for the decriminalization of sex work, and educating social service advocates and policy makers on its negative impacts. Unconstitutional laws and statues, such as SCAN, increase violence against women and exacerbate structural factors of criminalization, poverty, economic discrimination, HIV vulnerability, and the poor availability of drug treatment care.

As we continue to fight for the human rights protection of street-based sex workers and their families, we want to take time out this holiday season to celebrate the accomplishments of our members who have overcome many obstacles as they work to rebuild their lives.
