First, human rights and freedoms is universal and accorded every human. To claim it is western is being racist. Aren't people in the south human? Second, our oppresion is rooted in the denial and violation of our rights and freedom. Oppressors savin those they oppress? Fuck them
@Sex_Workers
Apparently you're all oppressed and need saving. And you're all middle class and Westernised daw. Sakit sa ulo.

Our is a very divided community i.e., the class divide between SWs working in more "classy" places and those plying their trade in the streets. Oppression is all about sowing divisions in our midst so we can never unite in our struggle to get out of it. When will we ever learn?

The anti-sex work industry's false claim that SWs are trafficked and use drugs to deal with the trauma of being forced into the sex trade is an invitation for murder. It is a Philippine govt policy to kill drug addicts who are poor and those considered as dregs of society.

He started to say "work is ... " and stops perhaps sensing what we are up to. "Never mind ", we said. "If you as a Union leader can not even tell us outright what work is how could you even act like you are an authority on sex work?"

Let us continue the demand to end violence against sex workers. But let us keep in mind that all the violence we face as sex workers is rooted in the worst violence of all that is committed against us - the deprivation of our human rights.

In a country where sex workers are despised and drug users are murdered almost everyday, the unfounded claim of the rescue industry that most sex workers use drugs to cope with the psychological trauma resulting from their work is not only irresponsible but dangerous.

We receive at least 2 requests for interviews each week both from outside the country, mostly from the press and the academe. We have not accepted any of these requests since the start of COVID. There were just too many more pressing survival issues, we needed to take care of.

It’s election time. Now, if these people seeking office hate sex work that much could we at least demand that they put into their campaign agenda that they would work at setting up a sustainable exit strategy program for women wanting to leave the trade.

Indeed. We do not see the light at the end of the tunnel . We may never will. But we got to do what we need to do to dismantle the oppressive system. We cannot live our lives continually being a non-being discriminated and oppressed.
@Sex_Workers
It’s unfortunate that society still sees sex work as taboo yet it has a massive user base, society and religious people shun the sex workers as less of a person because you are a sex worker how disgusting in this day & age!!

Indeed! This savior industrial complex has to be exposed for what it is. Nothing but a big industry making money oppressing peoole.
@Sex_Workers
Eventually I will talk about how the 'savior complex' is particularly Western. So is Marx. And so is the US govt's anti-prostitution aid agenda that they embrace. Calling something 'Western' doesn't say much.

One woman is raped every hour in the Philippines according to statistics. Compare that to the very low rape conviction rate. Rape is difficult to prosecute especially under a legal system that is biased against the poor. More so if the poor is a sex worker.

In the meeting, the mayor berated the sex workers and called them lazybones who want easy money by just spreading their legs. He then told them of his plan to have them shipped out of the city, go home (most of the sex workers were migrants), leave the city forever.
