Labour4Decrim: End the Criminalisation of Sex Work
DECRIM NOW: Campaign for Sex Workers’ Rights

Add to calendar


In 2018, with the grassroots union UWV, sex workers launched Decrim Now: Campaign for Sex Workers’ Rights. Austerity policies and low wages disproportionately affect women and are a key driver for people turning to sex work. Labour4Decrim is raising awareness about the harms of criminalisation and the Nordic Model, and calling on the Labour Party to listen to sex workers and support the struggle to unionise and decriminalise the sex industry.
