Health insurance reaches 100% of sex workers in 🇻🇳🇳🇵🇧🇩🇱🇦🇵🇬🇲🇳—but welfare & job support remain out of reach for most. Only 20% in Nepal access welfare, and Mongolia leads training access at 16%. Equal rights mean full protection, not partial coverage. #DataForChange #SWNC_campaign

Take Action Now! Too many sex workers are denied health, welfare & training due to stigma & lack of recognition. In Nepal, only 20% access welfare—while in Laos & PNG, none. Share. Speak up. Support inclusive policies. #sexworkerights #decriminalize_sex_work #APNSW #SWNC_Campaign

Did You Know? In Asia-Pacific, awareness of social protection for sex workers is uneven: Mongolia leads (94% social security, 100% health insurance), while Bangladesh is just 8%—and none reported in Laos & PNG. Everyone deserves equal access with dignity. #APNSW @GlobalSexWork

💔 MYTH: Sex workers destroy families. ✨ TRUTH: Families break because of choices made inside the relationship — not by the worker providing a service. Sex work = labor. 👉 Stop the stigma. Respect sex workers. #SexWorkIsWork #StopTheStigma #RespectSexWorkers #apnsw

Sex work isn’t “easy money.” It’s time, safety, appearance, resilience. It’s LABOR — just like any other. #SexWorkIsWork #EndTheStigma #apnsw #laborrights

🔴 June 2 was International Sex Workers Day. In 1975, sex workers in Lyon, France occupied a church to protest police violence and injustice. Their courage sparked a global movement. Today, we honor that legacy and continue the fight for rights, safety, and dignity. #APNSW

@bubu_de_la_ma @apnsw ぶぶさんの現役時代はアジアの各地でセックスワーカーの自助グループができ始めた初期の頃やね。 その後、国や政治は、セックスワーカーを生かさず殺さずの時代になっていったような気がする。
