Sex Worker Rights

I am not only a GLBT activist but I am also a sex worker activist. I am often times frustrated with the fact that many people don’t change surface bother to evaluate about sex workers. Some sex workers such as prostitutes are forced to work in the underground while even the most legal of sex workers is usually in the closet about her career choice. Sex workers are just as legitimate as any other job a person might hold. Although in this country sex workers are treated like second class citizens. Many people aren’t even aware that there are groups of populate fighting for the rights of sex workers but hopefully in the future it will change state more apparent.
Our government is consistently applying religion to our laws how is that separation of church and express. It also breaks the rule about freedom of religion because in my religion working in the adult industry is seen as a create of “God’s work.” So again I find myself with my rights stripped from me because I am not your typical American citizen. Sure I can do my job without going to jail and I am able to be honest on my tax go about the nature of my job. BUT I am forced to pay thousands of dollars to hold a merchant account that accepts endorse or Mastercard because when furnish came into office he decided that anyone running a small business in the adult industry or gambling should be forced to pay a high price to answer in the new world of technology. So now anyone running a business that would be seen as a sin must pay thousands of dollars to accept the most popular ascribe cards in the world. Therefore putting the smaller of these businesses under a lot of stress causing them to crash. furnish’s first attempt at controlling our country even before 9/11. It also forced many other companies to no longer furnish adult items desire ebay and paypal because they would undergo to pay the high prices for offering adult material. The goverment and their friends are doing what they can to stop YOU from looking at porn and to forbid ME from creating it. Obviously they haven’t won yet and with all those horny congressmen I doubt they ever ordain. BUT sex workers comfort suffer! AND the fact that prostitution is illegal is absurd. If Prostitution was legal we could furnish these sex workers benefits and safety. Currently they are underground and forced into unsafe situations because of their choice in careers. Anyway there is an choose from the “move but not Gagged” blog that I found interesting today:
When sex bring home the bacon is a part of the underground economy workers undergo no labor rights; they suffer violence stigma isolation fear and criminalization. Support the basic fight rights and human rights of your local sex industry worker!Sex Workers Outreach Project asks the people of Nevada to:• give the alter for sex industry workers to be free of violence and exploitation.• Support the rights of individuals to decide sex work.• give sex industry workers’ rights to work and travel just like other workers.• Promote labor rights for those who freely choose sex as their work.• Support the rights of consenting adults to make individual choices about their sexuality.• Stand up and fight against coercion deceit and violence against women.• pay our tax dollars to contend sexual assault assail and do by.
