Today is International Day of Banks and rather than celebrate them we want to highlight how sex workers experience discrimination from banks and financial institutes. On paper sex work is decriminalised in Ireland so sex workers should be able to open business accounts, right? pic.twitter.com/Xkja9RvVbz

Sex workers are familiar with exclusion from financial platforms.

GoFundMe, a popular crowdfunding site that many trans people use to raise money to pay for the surgeries they do not have access to here in Ireland, does not allow sex workers to use their platform.

We need to fully decriminalise sex work to start destigmatising this economic activity which is used by many marginalised people to survive #DecrimForSafety

It covers the case of Eva Marree Kullander Smith. When Sweden's social services learned that she had previously been a sex worker, Eva Marree's ex-partner was awarded sole custody of their children.

Eva Marree had to fight tooth and nail for the scantest of visitation rights, because of a job in the sex industry that she had done for a grand total of two weeks - and no longer did.

He stabbed her 31 times.

So don't you dare tell any of us that our children being removed is some rumour. Don't you dare.

Every sex worker-led organisation opposes the Nordic Model and backs full decriminalisation, as do the overwhelming majority of researchers into this area.https://t.co/HJIBE4v0Hk

Today is International Migrants Day. Young, migrant sex workers bear the brunt of our so-called brothel-keeping laws. We need to decriminalise sex work because the laws are being applied in a racist way, as highlighted by IHREC#InternationalMigrantsDay pic.twitter.com/RGNvMZiGRQ

We cannot continue to think that the state is protecting these workers! The legislation in place has done anything but protect them. Decriminalisation has to be prioritised before other lives are lost. #IDEVASW https://t.co/gNHQsbRS5R

Today is the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers #IDEVASW

Policies fighting gender-based violence in Europe fail to include marginalised communities, such as sex workers, increasing the risk of violence

Sex workers are the experts of their lives. “I am living with neurological issues…sex work has given me a profession that makes me feel, for once, that I’m great at my job.” Ending violence against sex workers must include disability justice. #IDPWD2021 https://t.co/rIm3iDF4Nq

As we have done for the last few years, we will be tweeting the names of the 186 publicly-known sex workers killed in the UK since 1990 throughout the day.
