Sex workers' rights are under attack across Europe and Central Asia. 🇸🇪 In 2025, despite receiving overwhelming opposition,, Sweden criminalised the clients of online sex work (e.g. OnlyFans). Just as we feared, this dangerous precedent started a new wave of attacks on sex workers' rights.

Cannot stop staring at this. How can you claim to support sex workers while also arguing they're too stupid to advocate for themselves? "These women sound too smart, therefore, it's safe to assume they are actually men" Beyond dehumanizing.

People who assume sex workers are uneducated don't actually know any sex workers. I have three college degrees and over a decade of classroom teaching experience. That's the case for most of the SWers I know.
