> Happy Sex Workers Pride Day.
> Sex Worker Pride, celebrated globally each year on September 14, emerged from the global sex workers' rights movement as an intentional space for celebration, self-determination, and community empowerment. While other key dates on the sex work advocacy calendar focus heavily on protest and mourning—such as International Sex Workers' Rights Day on March 3 or the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers on December 17—Sex Worker Pride was created specifically to affirm agency, occupational pride, and diversity across the global community.
> The movement traces its ideological roots to the 1970s, notably the 1975 occupation of Saint-Nizier Church in Lyon, France, where sex workers revolted against police harassment and inhumane working conditions. That historic strike catalyzed modern sex worker organizing and laid the groundwork for viewing sex work through the lens of human rights and labor. Over the following decades, international solidarity solidified. In 2001, activists marching at the 49th Venice Biennale famously carried red umbrellas to bring visibility to their struggle—a moment that established the red umbrella as the universal symbol of safety, resistance, and solidarity.
> Sex Worker Pride Day was officially launched in 2019 by the Global Network of Sex Work Projects - NSWP. The initiative was designed to complement existing political mobilizations by carving out a positive, celebratory platform. The day honors sex workers in all their diversity—centering the intersecting experiences of migrant workers, cisgender and transgender workers, and gender-nonconforming individuals.
> Today, Sex Worker Pride highlights the resilience of workers who continue to navigate criminalization, stigma, and economic barriers. Beyond demanding full labor rights and decriminalization, the day provides a vital counter-narrative to societal shame, asserting that sex workers deserve dignity, autonomy, and equality in every sphere of life.

A lot of the discussion about sexbots is about the users and manufacturers. But what do sex workers think about the tech?
This study asked them, and the answers are interesting. There is concern, but also many thoughts on authenticity.Link: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13178-025-01146-z

📕 L'ALBA DELLA NOSTRA LIBERTÀ 📕
Martedì 7 aprile, dalle 19:30 alle 21:30, presso Circolo San Luis 1946, via Don Bosco, 7, Milano
Verso il 25 aprile, in avvicinamento a Partigian* in Ogni Quartiere, presentiamo di L’alba della nostra libertà di Barbara Cagni, edito da @fazieditore
Un romanzo che restituisce attenzione alle partigiane che hanno combattuto per la libertà ricostruendo gli anni della Resistenza in una casa di tolleranza a Milano.
Ne parliamo con l’autrice, Barbara Cagni, e una sex worker per rivivere quel periodo da un punto di vista poco esplorato e riflettere sul presente.
Martedì 7 aprile ore 19.30 al @circolosanluis1946

«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.

"What's new and different?"
Well, it's not new (1986), but #LizzieBorden's #WorkingGirls is still a very different and great #movie that shows the everyday realities of #SexWork (for white women and their customers) in a specific type of environment.

CW: discussing when/why I might switch to a female-nipple-friendly but not sex worker or nudist-focused instance
so far I've been happy on @eldritch.cafe (even though I don't speak French, the people and mods on here have been decent, and the 5000 character limit on posts is much appreciated.) but as you'd expect from a smaller instance, I get very few or no results for many tags that are important to me, like #contentCreator #youtube #twitch #livestream #videoInterview #vlogger #videoEssayist #socialCommentary #thepatriarchy and many similar tags.
so it might be useful for me to try out another, more content creator-inclusive server sometime. but I'm not sure there's really a perfect fit out there.
for one thing, character count is important to me, and so many instances (I presume founded by Twitter users) leave theirs at the default 500, which I find stifling. even 1000 is frequently irritating, when I've gotten used to 5000. I also don't understand the appeal of tight character limits, since people just then write out long, rambling threads of posts, that can easily be taken out of context to warp their whole argument and leave them rife for misinterpretation (see: "quote tweeting")
beyond that, while my videos focus on so many #progressive causes I care about, like #feminism #lgbtq #queer #equalRights #genderdiscrimination #genderEquality #houselessness #mentalHealthcare #transRights #racialEquality and many other #leftwing #USpolitics, because I do my videos topless, there are basically no platforms I can host my content until I can somehow convince sponsors to pay me so I can set up my own hosting-- @tio is kind enough to let me post my uncensored videos to his #peertube server, but there's no real searchability within peertube (as evinced by how many people suggest I post my content to peertube, which I already have been for years...) and putting censored videos of my videos on mainstream platforms that tell people to visit my website to see my uncensored videos doesn't work well, both because of how often my content gets #banned even when it's fully censored (thanks, haters), and because many people are a little, well... 😏 I can only say "follow the link written on the video" (because I'll get banned for "linking to porn" if I put a clickable link in my video description or social media post) so many times.
back to switching instances, the main reason I picked Eldritch Cafe several years ago is because, being French, they don't have the same blatantly misogynistic puritanical views towards "female nipples" being unacceptable viewing outside of explicit sexual situations. they just want them placed under a content warning, as you'd expect on basically every server. but alas, like I said, there just aren't really any other content creators that I've found on here, especially not vloggers/social commentary/video essayists like me (idk what the distinction is, really). that's why it might make more sense for me to move instances, much as I've come to feel comfortable here.
but then the crux of the problem arises--I am, first and foremost, a #toplessequality activist. I want "the same rights for 'female looking nipples' that 'male looking nipples' get." while I was raised a nudist, and for a little while there I did a fair amount of content catering to nudists (talking about #nudism / #naturism , being fully naked instead of just topless, etc...) but I've really been finding the urge to distance myself from nudists lately, for reasons I go into detail here: https://www.toplesstopics.org/nomorenudism/ the tl;dr version is that just talking about nudism all the time is boring to me, and I resent how so many of the (straight cis male) nudists who would exchange my videos amongst themselves would skim right past my whole "fight for gender equality" and just use me as a (more culturally appealing than yet more straight white cis male) nudist figurehead. a lot of nudists are also very anti-sex worker, which goes against my morals- I fully believe that #sexWorkIsWork, and any #consensual #sexWork is fine by me.
what I resent is that, when it comes to mainstream platforms, only being allowed to post my uncensored female nipples on platforms that allow explicit sexual material. I am NOT a sex worker, I DO NOT do anything actually sexual in my videos-- I have interviews with #adultFilm actors, #camgirls, #kink educators, etc, but it's discussion only, we don't DO anything sexual, or go into graphic detail about sexual acts. but because of puritanical American society, the only places I can simply be topless-while-female is on places like Onlyfans, Mewe and Joystick.tv - - places already overflowing with porn.
