LEFÖ invites you—together with many other organizations!
Together with sex workers, the sex worker-led organizations Red Edition and the Queer Sex Workers Collective, Trans* Sex Works Berlin, the counselling centres maiz, PiA, IBUS, and SXA Frauen*service Graz, Amnesty International Austria – Women’s Rights Network, and Aids Hilfe Wien, LEFÖ calls for an immediate end to the stigmatization of sex workers.
The living and working conditions of sex workers in Austria, especially migrant sex workers, continue to be shaped by precarious circumstances. Discrimination, stigma, and growing calls for more restrictive legislation, particularly at the European Union level, further worsen their situation.
Once again this year, we call for greater recognition and stronger rights, for the political and social de-stigmatization of sex work, and for a society free from violence for all sex workers.
We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you there. Let’s raise our voices together!
