STRASS Syndicat du TRAvail Sexuel. Non à la criminalisation des sexworkers. Pétition contre la pénalisation du sexwork. Arrêtez de criminaliser les travailleurs du sexe ! Communiqué de presse du mardi 20 octobre 2009. Le journal en ligne La Dépêche publiait le 17 octobre dernier un article relatant l'arrestation d'une escort, pour racolage sur internet. Jean-Noël Gros, l'auteur de l'article1, précisait que cette arrestation avait été rendue possible par l'application de l'article L 225-10-1 de la loi n° 2003-239 du 18 mars 2003, relative à la sécurité intérieure (LSI). Pourtant, si l'on se rapporte à la circulaire d'application de la LSI, datée du 3 juin 2003, le délit de racolage public est présenté comme un moyen de garantir la tranquillité publique, en débarrassant les rues de toutes manifestations sexuelles ostentatoires.2 Mais la sollicitation des clientes et des clients sur Internet ne s'affiche pas aux yeux des passants.

Elle est confinée aux sites spécialisés, qu'on ne consulte pas par accident. Le STRASS exige : la cessation de l'hypocrisie du gouvernement français concernant la prostitution. $PREAD MAGAZINE. $pread Blog.

Some are very comfortable with an idolizing regular. But maybe you’re the type of sex worker who wants to keep some distance between the real play and pay. Of course, there are many creeps who will overstep their boundaries through extreme means, and this is when you should take every legal step you can to remove this person from your life. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Remember that regardless of money, you always have the right to refuse a client. -Christina Cicchelli Continue Reading. Les Putes. Sex Work Awareness. Sex Work 101. NYC Sexbloggers Calendar.

This is the speech that I gave at the International Day To End Violence Against Sex Workers event at the Metropolitan Community Church in NYC this evening. Last April, while I was at the grocery store shopping for the meal I was cooking for the first crop of Speak Up sex worker media trainees, my phone buzzed and I got a message that a sex worker from New York had been found dead – bound and shot in the chest – in a hotel in Boston.

The message was from a fellow sex worker who urged me to spread the word around and encourage other sex workers I know to be extra-diligent with their screening. Sex workers look out for each other – the community was responding to each other and the news media before the media even understood the developing story. The case was big news for a few weeks, as the so-called Craigslist Killer went on a bit of a spree and then was revealed to be a clean cut Boston University medical student. Stella. Cher Client...
