It’s International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. Every year we lose people to obvious & clear violences made socially acceptable by stigma & the quiet, immeasurable violences of stigma. We’re all mourning someone today. Make our days better by supporting us and the orgs that support us.
'I dream of the day when we no longer need a memorial, when there are no more vigils, no more marches for the dead. A day when we live in a world that protects us, values us, and lets us thrive.'
