Community Report #2: The Impact of Structural Racism on Racialised Sex Workers in Europe and Central Asia.

👥 ESWA 🗓️ October 2022
🌐 Web: https://www.eswalliance.org/sex_work_racism_second_community_report
📄 PDF (© ¿?): https://assets.nationbuilder.com/eswa/pages/256/attachments/original/1665409755/SW___Racism_2.pdf?1665409755

> This briefing paper is the second publication of the European Sex Workers’ Rights Alliance’s (ESWA) series on sex work and racism. It follows the paper entitled ‘Sex Work and Racism: Historical Overview of Racism in Anti-Sex Work, Anti-Trafficking and Anti-Immigration (ASWTI) Legislation in Europe’ (ESWA, 2022), which explained the development of anti-sex work, anti-trafficking, and anti- immigration legislation and policy and the history of sexual racialisation under the white European systems of chattel slavery, colonialism, and militarised sex work. As was explored in the paper, the legacy of these systems is structural racism, which is defined as “a product of a system in which public policies, institutional practices, cultural representations, and other norms work in various ways to perpetuate racial inequity, and has been a feature of the social, economic, and political systems in which we all exist.” (European Network Against Racism (ENAR, n.d.).

> Structural racism results in discrimination against racialised sex workers that hinders equal opportunities and treatment in various aspects of their work and everyday lives. Racialised1 sex workers who are LGBTQ, (undocumented) migrants, poor, and/or work on the street have to deal with multiple oppressive forces and systems, such as homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, classism, sexism, ableism, and others, which intersect with racism (ENAR, 2020).

> This briefing paper aims to explore the impact of structural racism among racialised sex workers in Europe and Central Asia. To do so, ESWA first reviewed the existing literature in the field of structural racism in Europe and Central Asia, also in relation to sex work. Since data disaggregated by race and ethnicity is lacking in many European and Central Asian countries, ESWA also investigated the literature on sex work and migration, as the groups of racialised sex workers and (undocumented) migrant and refugee sex workers frequently overlap in this context. Following this, ESWA conducted research using an online e-consultation open to all ESWA members, followed by a racialised sex worker focus group to explore the topic more in-depth.

> The briefing paper is structured as follows: the first section details the prevalence and impact of structural racism in the areas of housing, health, labour, law enforcement, and accessing justice. The following section highlights how racialised sex workers resist this racism, and the final section presents conclusions and recommendations to address the issue of structural racism at European, national, and individual levels.

-

Much like the previous: don't think it needs further commentary.
A significant portion of sex workers in Europe/CEECA regions are racialized; it's pretty clear racism will thus affect them.

As with most things surrounding sex work, however, there are additional layers of discrimination and structural and institutional violences on top.
Here's a relatively in-depth overview of how it materializes in Europe and Central Asia across multiple different intersections.

Community Report 1: Historical Overview of Racism in Anti-Sex Work, Anti-Trafficking, and Anti-Immigration (ASWTI) Legislation

> Racialised people constitute an important yet frequently overlooked group of sex workers in Europe. The daily racism they experience is a result of European and North American chattel slavery, colonialism, and militarised prostitution. Under these systems, white European and North American men obtained uninhibited sexual access to enslaved and colonised people, particularly women (Kempadoo, 2001). Although chattel slavery has been abolished and many former colonies have liberated themselves, racist colonial structures, ideas, stereotypes, and practices continue to exist. For racialised sex workers, many of whom are (undocumented) migrants (Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants [PICUM], 2019; Kempadoo, 2001), the racism and discrimination they experience is structurally rooted in a socio-political landscape that includes anti-sex work, anti-trafficking, and anti-immigration (hereafter, ASWTI) laws and policies.

> This community report explores how racism is entangled in ASWTI legislation in Europe. To do so, the European Sex Workers’ Rights Alliance (ESWA) conducted a literature review on the history of sexualised racism in the European context and racism in global and national sex work policies and laws. This community report is thus structured as follows: the first section explains how the sexual racialisation of non-Western peoples by European and North American powers was both a source and product of racism during chattel slavery, colonalism, and militarised prostitution. The following section then explores how sexualised racialisation and racism has influenced ASWTI legislation and policy. The final section presents concluding remarks and recommendations.

-

Don't think this one needs the slightest commentary, tbh.
Anti-SW sentiment is DEEPLY intertwined with racism and misogyny; and so is anti-trafficking legislation with control of immigration and sexuality, via colonial ideas.

The report exposes the not-so-subtle but often overlooked weave among these topics, which is still very much present to this day.

> Project Jasmine and ESWA are kicking off pride month with a groundbreaking initiative that will benefit sex workers, allies, and all of humanity: a sex work memes competition!

> We firmly believe that with the right memes, we can secure decriminalisation worldwide by the end of the month, but we need you to do your part.

> Send us your memes. We will share them in stories when we have time. By the end of the month, the best memes will be selected by an independent board of mysterious and biased judges.

> Pettiness is fine, hate speech is not! We reserve the right not to share memes that feel overly aggressive or otherwise problematic.

> May the best meme win.

— #ProjectJasmine ➕ #ESWA

… Ought to go without saying, seriousness is kinda out off the window on this one.
But where would we be without some lightheartedness..? ^~

PS: I hope it's obvious but just in case — meme proposals towards them, I got nothing to do with this and I won't be forwarding any either. 😅
I *might* share some; but there's a negative chance of me paining through Instagram or its proxies daily to check for them…

> Every June 2nd we celebrate one of the most important days in the year: International Sex Workers' Day!

> This day marks the anniversary of the legendary occupation of the St Nizier church in Lyon, France, by a group of sex workers. They claimed the church for eight days to demand safety, dignity, and labour rights. Their bravery ignited a global movement that continues to inspire us every year.

> In 2025, at the 50th anniversary of the St Nizier occupation, ESWA organised a region-wide campaign, with events, protests, parties and activities in different cities across Europe and Central Asia. We documented this historic event and turned it into this documentary that shows the diverse beauty, bravery and creativity of our movement.

«¡Despenaliza Nuestras Vidas!»
Día Internacional de la Mujer: Visión Compartida para el Feminismo.

[Traducción de la declaración del 8M de ESWA, EuroNPUD, SAFE y la Iniciativa Equinox.]

-

‣ ¡La criminalización NUNCA ha de ser la primera respuesta a problemas socionanitarios!

Hace tres años se publicaron los Principios del 8 de Marzo - para proporcionar una nueva forma en la que mirar la justicia.

Este Día Internacional de la Mujer, pedimos cuidados en vez de cárceles, en temas como el trabajo sexual, el aborto, la reducción de daños, la justicia racial y la pobreza.

Defendemos un feminismo basado en derechos, no punitivo.

‣ Derechos, no rescate: ¡el trabajo sexual es trabajo!

La criminalización, incluyendo la de clientes, es un motor de violencia contra trabajadoræs sexuales.

Empuja el trabajo sexual a la clandestinidad, a mayores peligros y estigma, y crea barreras de acceso a la sanidad, la vivienda y la justicia.

Los Principios enfatizan que las actividades sexuales consensuadas entre personas adultas nunca deben ser gestionadas por el sistema penal.

Despenalizar el trabajo sexual prioriza la seguridad, los derechos humanos y laborales de tabajadoræs sexuales.

‣ La criminalización nunca ha evitado los abortos. Solo los vuelve menos seguros.

Según los Principios, la autonomía reproductiva y corporal son reconocidos como derechos humanos fundamentales.

Exigimos eliminar todas las barreras punitivas a la sanidad.
Cuando tratamos el aborto como un crimen, violamos es derecho a la salud, a la privacidad, y a la autonomía corporal. Es hora de que el sistema legal confíe en que las personas tomen decisiones sobre sus propios cuerpos sin amenazas de prisión.

‣ ¡Apoyo, no castigo! La reducción de daños salva vidas. La criminalización las destruye.

La “Guerra a las Drogas” es una guerra contra toda la humanidad. En la práctica, afecta desproporcionadamente a mujeres, cuidadoras, y a las comunidades más marginalizadas.

Los Principios defienden pasar de la criminalización a la reducción de daños. El uso de drogas es un asunto de salud pública, no uno criminal. Al redirigir recursos de vigilancia policial a servicios comunitarios de salud y espacios de consumo seguro, podemos transformar nuestras sociedades para mejor.

La experiencia vivida es conocimiento.

‣ Carcelarismo contra la Justicia Racial.

El sistema legal no es “neutral”.
Afecta y penaliza desmesuradamente a comunidades negras y racializadas.

Los Principios nos recuerdan que la justicia no puede conseguirse mediante estructuras erigidas en base a un bias sistémico. Tenemos que desmontar las estructuras de vigilancia e invertir en medidas de seguridad dirigidas por y para las comunidades más afectadas por la violencia estatal.

El feminismo anticarcelario es esencial para la justicia racial.

‣ La Visión Conjunta - nuestras demandas:

• Despenalizar el aborto, el trabajo sexual, el uso de drogas y las actividades asociadas con la pobreza.

• Redirigir recursos del estado carcelario a programas comunitarios de seguridad, salud y vivienda.

• Adoptar los Principios del 8 de Marzo globalmente para garantizar que nuestros sistemas legal son guiados por los derechos humanos.

• Reconocer las experiencias vividas como experiencia: las políticas son más sólidas cuando son las personas más afectadas quienes las moldean. Amplificar las voces de la comunidad, reconocer el soporte de pares, y tratar a las personas con dignidad y autonomía.

‣ ¡La pobreza no es un crimen!

En muchos lugares, ser pobre o sin hogar se trata prácticamente como una ofensa criminal.
Las leyes que apuntan a “vagos habituales” o a actividades como dormir en público castigan a la gente simplemente por existir.

Los Principios afirman que el derecho penal nunca debería usarse para abordar la exclusión social y económica.
No podemos hacer un camino fuera de la pobreza mediante jaulas, y jamás deberíamos criminalizar los medios por los que las personas más pobres sobreviven.

-

Un mundo más seguro es posible cuando dejamos de usar el derecho para castigar y empezamos a usarlo para proteger.

Cuando eliminamos la amenaza de la criminalización, abrimos puertas a la autonomía, la seguridad, y la dignidad para todꜵs.
También crea espacios para el bienestar y el placer: elecciones más seguras, decisiones informadas, y autodeterminación.

Construyamos un feminismo que libera a todas las personas, especialmente las más marginalizadas.
