LOCAL Announcement :: Protest Activity
Dec 16th Rally and March to End Violence Against Sex Workers
5TH ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL DAY TO END VIOLENCE AGAINST SEX WORKERS
Violence is NOT an occupational hazard!
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16th @ 3pm-4pm
GATHER AT ADDISON AND HALSTED
RALLY INFRONT OF CHICAGO POLICE STATION
MARCH THROUGH LAKEVIEW
The current criminal laws surrounding prostitution make the REAL crimes of kidnap, rape, blackmail, and even murder of sex workers unreportable to police. Every human, regardless of who they are and what they do, deserves a right to be safe from violence. While the U.S. government is spending tons of taxpayers dollars to eliminate prostitution, the criminalization that results from the application of these laws prevents sex workers from having any social protection, thus making sex workers the easiest and most visible target for violence without consequences.
Also join the Sex Workers Outreach Project for a sleaze themed benefir the evening before the march.
