In August 2015, Amnesty International voted in favor of a policy calling for the decriminalization of all aspects of consensual sex work.
Please sign the petition to thank Amnesty for standing up for sex workers' human rights!Amnesty International is right to support full decriminalization of all aspects of consensual sex work. Its recommendation calls on states to ensure that sex workers enjoy full and equal legal protection from exploitation, trafficking and violence.
Amnesty is correct that removing sex work from the criminal underworld will allow sex workers to both "demand and enjoy better relationships with and protection from police."
Decriminalization returns rights to sex workers.We commend Amnesty International for taking this important step and joining us as new allies in the struggle for recognition of our human rights.
