What You Need To Know About
What sex work is and isn't
Sex work is the consensual exchange of services, performances, or products for material compensation whether money, goods, or other items between a provider/artist and client/consumer. Sex work only refers to voluntary sexual transactions; thus, the term does not refer to pimping, human trafficking or any kind of coerced or nonconsensual transactions.Types of sex workers
A sex worker is a legal adult who provides services either on a regular or occasional basis. The term is used in reference to those who work in all areas of the industry. Sex workers are sugar babies, strippers, adult film/spicy content creators, and full service providers such as luxury companions and Dominatrices even if physical contact is a boundary.
Decriminalization
Since 100 prostitutes in Lyon, France, occupied a church in 1975 to protest police abuse, sex workers across the globe have been organizing for their rights to work and to live free from violence and discrimination.
Carol Leigh, also known as The Scarlot Harlot, is credited for coining the term sex work in 1978 at an anti-porn conference. She was an American artist, author, film maker, sex worker, and sex worker’s rights activist who founded the Sex Worker Film & Arts Festival and was also the co-founder of BAYSWAN. Leigh grew up in Jackson Heights, Queens. She was “a red diaper baby” or otherwise known as a child whose parents were apart of the Communist Party USA. When she moved to San Francisco and started engaging in sex work, she was assaulted by two men at the establishment she worked at. She did not report her abusers to the police out of fear that the business would be shut down entirely. Leigh later described the assault as a defining moment in her life that prompted her activism for sex workers' rights.
