There’s no real freedom while sex work is criminalised. 📢Decriminalise sex work. 📢Protect rights. 📢Save lives. #FreedomDay🇿🇦 #DecrimSexWork #HumanRightsForAll

#SexWorkIsWork and on this #WorkersDay, a reminder that all labour matters—including sex work. Let’s fight for #DecrimNow and the dignity, safety, and rights of every worker. #LabourRights

Why do we fight for decriminalisation? Because criminalisation harms. Because sex workers deserve safety, dignity, and rights. 🎥 Watch “Decriminalise Sex Work Now!” – real voices, real stories. ✊🏽 #DecrimNowSA #SexWorkIsWork 🔗 youtu.be/JXNJ55IJp-8?si…

Sex worker joy is resistance. Unity is power. Decriminalisation is the goal. At Sweat, we fight for safety, dignity & rights for all sex workers. #DecrimNow because #SexWorkIsWork. 💪🏾

When peer-led HIV clinics shut down, sex workers lose trust, safety, and life-saving care. This is a public health failure, writes tianjohnson for @healthenews. health-e.org.za/2025/06/02/no-…

Monday saw Asijiki Coalition & @sweattweets set up desks outside the Department of Justice offices with a seat left open for government. A powerful call to fast-track the long-delayed bill to decriminalise sex work and enable safer working conditions. dailymaverick.co.za/article/2025-0…
