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

> 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

👥 ESWA 🗓️ April 2022

> 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.

> 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.

«Decriminalise Our Lives!»

International Women's Day: Shared Vision for Feminism.

Statement by ESWA, EuroNPUD, S.A.F.E. and Equinox Initiative.

[I cannot agree more with it. ❤️‍🔥😍 💯]

-

‣ Criminalisation should NEVER be the first response to social and healthcare issues!

3 years ago, the 8 March Principles were launched - to provide a new model on how we see justice.

This International Women's Day, we're calling for care over carceralism, on issues including sex work, abortion, harm reduction, racial justice and poverty.

We advocate for a feminism that is rights-based, not punitive.

-

‣ Rights not rescue: sex work is work!

Criminalisation, including the criminalisation of clients, is a massive driver of violence against sex workers.

It drives sex work underground, into more danger and stigma, creates barriers to healthcare, housing, and justice.

The 8 March Principles emphasise that consensual sexual activity between adults should never be a matter for the criminal legal system.

Decriminalisation of sex work prioritises the safety, human and labour rights of sex workers.

-

‣ Criminalisation has never stopped abortions from happening. It only makes them less safe.

Under the 8 March Principles, reproductive and bodily autonomy are recognised as fundamental human rights.

We demand the removal of all punitive barriers to healthcare. When we treat abortion as a crime, we violate the right to health, privacy, and bodily autonomy. It is time for a legal system that trusts individuals to make decisions about their own bodies without the threat of a prison cell.

-

‣ Support, don't punish! Harm reduction saves lives. Criminalisation destroys them.

The “War on Drugs” is a war on all humans. In practice, it disproportionately impacts women, caregivers and communities already marginalised.

The 8 March Principles advocate for a shift from criminalisation to harm reduction. Drug use is a public health issue, not a criminal one. By redirecting resources from policing to community-supported healthcare and safe consumption services, we can transform our societies for the better.

Lived experience is knowledge.

-

‣ Carceralism vs. Racial Justice.

The legal system isn't “neutral”.
It disproportionately targets and penalises Black, Brown and racialised communities.

The 8 March Principles remind us that justice cannot be achieved through a system built on systemic bias. We must dismantle the structures of over-policing and invest in safety measures that are led by and for the communities most affected by state violence.

Anti-carceral feminism is essential to realising racial justice.

-

‣ The Shared Vision - Our Demands:

• Decriminalise abortion, sex work, drug use, and activities associated with poverty.

• Redirect resources from the carceral state to community-led safety, health, and housing.

• Adopt the 8 March Principles globally to ensure that human rights, not moral policing, guide our legal systems.

• Center lived experience as expertise: policies are stronger when shaped by the people most affected. Amplify community voices, recognise peer support, and treat people with dignity and autonomy.

-

‣ Poverty is not a crime!

In many places, being poor or homeless is effectively treated as a criminal offense.
Laws targeting activities like loitering or sleeping in public punish people for simply existing.

The 8 March Principles state that the criminal law should never be used to address social and economic exclusion.
We cannot jail our way out of poverty, and should never criminalise the means by which the poorest survive.

Resources belong in housing and healthcare, not policing and prisons.

-

A safer world is possible when we stop using the law to punish and start using it to protect.

When we remove the threat of criminalisation, we create space for autonomy, safety, and dignity for all.
It also makes space for well-being and pleasure: safer choices, informed decisions, and self-determination.

‣ LET'S BUILD A FEMINISM THAT LIBERATES EVERYONE, SPECIALLY THE MOST MARGINALISED.

«3 March: International Sex Workers' Rights Day»

Joint statement by [Turkish] organizations working with and for trans communities. 👠🇹🇷🏳‍⚧

> 3 March marks the anniversary of the historic march launched by thousands of sex workers in India in 2001 to demand their rights!

> Today, from Türkiye, we salute the legacy of that struggle. March 3 is not merely a date on the calendar; it symbolizes a global voice raised for the recognition of sex workers' labor, for working conditions free from violence, and for the demand for equal citizenship.

> Yet we commemorate this meaningful day amid acute rights violations in Türkiye, intensified under the declaration of the “Year of the Family” which directly targets the living and working spaces of sex workers.

> Today, sex workers are subjected to systematic repression under vague justifications such as “public morality” and “public order”.

> Over the past year, this regime of pressure in Türkiye has evolved into a process in which arbitrary home sealings have become normalized, judicial harassment and open targeting have increased, and allegations of ‘obscenity’ have been transformed into systematic tools of punishment for sex workers.

> Our constitutional right to housing is being violated through unlawful home sealings; sex workers pushed onto the streets are exposed to economic violence through arbitrary and unjust administrative fines imposed under the Misdemeanors Law.

> Efforts to exist and create working spaces in digital spheres are also criminalized; social media posts and online communication activities are used as grounds for investigations and prosecutions under claims of “obscenity” and “immorality”, keeping sex workers under constant threat of judicial harassment.

> These punitive practices not only push sex workers into deeper poverty but also render them unprotected and vulnerable to hate crimes, physical violence, and systematic abuse.

> For trans sex workers, these violations intersect with social exclusion and employment discrimination, resulting in even harsher isolation and life-threatening risks.

> As organizations working with and for trans communities, we firmly assert that sex workers are entitles to full and equal rights, and that our labor must be legally recognized and protected. The closure of safe working spaces, the sealing of brothels, and policies that force people into unregistered and precarious work disregard occupational safety and endanger our lives.

> We raise our voices against all arbitrary and unlawful practices, against stigmatizing language, and against impunity policies that fuel violence.

> On this March 3, we once again declare:

> In the face of criminalization and isolation, our greatest strength is our organized struggle and solidarity.

> We will continue to defend one another's rights and stand shoulder to shoulder in courts, in the streets, and in every sphere of life.

> We will not give up our right to and desire for an equal, just, and violence-free life.

> FOR OUR RIGHTS AND OUR LIVES, WE STAND SIDE BY SIDE!

> Sex work is always a hot topic, but hardly ever covered by those who actually live its realities.
> While film studios, directors and journalists profit off our stories, sex workers' voices remain silenced and gaslit. Views on sex work are shaped by a distorted caricature of our industry produced by mainstream media. Those mindsets lead to harmful legislation, discrimination and violence.

> This community video, initiated on Sex Workers' Pride and premiering on Sex Workers' Rights Day, aims to counter stereotypes with real lived experiences. Sex workers share what they wish the world knew about us and our work.

Sex Work & Relationships: What...

Instagram has suspended the account of https://www.eswalliance.org/ without warning or explanation, on the eve of International Sex Workers’ Rights Day.

This is unacceptable censorship of a human rights network.

According to representatives of the alliance, Meta has not provided clear reasons why their account was suspended, as the #DSA mandates.

Meta, stop silencing sex worker-led organising.
