Sex workers are censored!
The government decides what we can and cannot film, without looking into the background or how we work.

Our spaces are shrinking
Several new laws are making sex workers feel even more insecure and the opportunity to make our voices heard is shrinking. Read the Swedish article here:

Sex workers in Sweden are fighting for their right to join a union. It’s a major success that they’ve finally become part of one! Here’s an article in Swedish:

The moral panic doesn’t end here
Read the Swedish submission by one of our members, that we now have a new law that only gives us fewer rights.
Even though other industries have similar problems, we are the only ones who have received this "rescue".

The discussion continues
It’s not hard to understand that we didn’t like the debate about online sex work that was in the Riksdag. Where politicians even doubted our competence to be able to email them. This was the start of a debate in media, which unfortunately is only in Swedish and starts with our member’s debate article
https://www.etc.se/debatt/na-r-blir-en-hora-tillra-ckligt-olycklig-fo-r-att-tas-pa-allvar
The politician in question then countered with this text:

And our member then of course gave our answer:

We are waiting with excitement to see if the debate continues…
