Many people are unaware that the so-called “Nordic Model” is actively harmful and dangerous to humans whose business is sex.

What workers actually want is decriminalisation, known as Decrim for short.

As we celebrate International Sex Worker’s Day, let’s remember that the lived experience of workers is the ultimate authority on what workers need.

The red umbrella is the symbol of support for sex workers. I bought tiny red umbrella earrings and a pretty new red dress in case I was able to go to marches this year, but I am only a few days out from my second vaccine shot, and feeling pretty unwell.

So I made these photos instead.

Follow some Decrim groups here, here and here. Lots of Berlin sw orgs tagged in this post, give ’em a follow! A huge event coming up on June 17-19 is the Black Sx Workers’ Conference from the Black Sx Worker Collective.

I am incredibly grateful to my Patreon Patrons, whose monthly financial support makes it possible for me work safely at home.
