Datum: 25-06-2025Tijd: 13.00 - 14.00 uurLocatie: Geneve (Palais des Nations, room XXV)
This side event at the Human Rights Council (HRC) in Geneva will address the harms caused by conflating sex work with trafficking, deriving from a paternalistic approach to sex work and denying sex workers their right to bodily autonomy & capacity to consent.
Join us to discuss the urgent need to recognise sex work as work - a human rights and practical imperative to prevent and eliminate all forms of discrimination.
Panelists:
- Shaunna-May Trotman; Guyana Sex Worker Coalition
- Julia Vilanculos; Tiyane Vavassate

This session is organised by the Global Network of Sex Work Projects (NSWP), Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women (GAATW), European Sex Workers Rights Alliance (ESWA) and the Sexual Rights Initiative (SRI) and co-sponsored by many organisations and networks.
