Amsterdam, The Netherlands, is famous for its red light district. But a recent report shows that last year almost 500 sex workers reported abuse -- mostly at the hands of the people they are forced to work for because they are not allowed to work for themselves. @NL_Times

India's Supreme Court said voluntary adult SW isn't a crime & police can't harass or kidnap people in the sex industry without compelling evidence of force, fraud or coercion. That means police, NGOs, & faith-led charities can no longer kidnap people & call it a rescue operation.

Sex work is work and that is a hill we are willing to die on. Want to get involved or find resources?

In May 2026 Portland, OR City Council approved a proposal that would allow the city to shut down venues with “chronic nuisance” complaints, specifically to shut down motels frequented by SWd. This will likely lead to profiling that may make it harder for women to find rooms.

Comedian Kaytlin Bailey talks about sex work and old pros in 'The Oldest Profession' For more than a decade, comedian @KaytlinBailey was a regular at New York comedy spots like The Stand, The Creek and the Cave and New York Comedy Club, where she hung out with Kurt Metzger, Doug Stanhope and others. She also had a couple of stints doing sex work, including some “sugaring,” she says. “It’s a new term for a very old thing,” Bailey says. “It’s having a patron, being paid by month instead of being paid by the hour.” How did she like the clients? “I was asked to put up with more shit as a barista,” she says. Bailey still spends a lot of time onstage, and currently, she’s touring her show @oldprosonline a blend of comedy, sex worker history and personal perspective. It runs May 1-2 in New Orleans at The Actor’s Apothecary. The show includes a “mad-dash through sex worker history,” from the first exchanges of goods for sex to the current fixation on criminalization. Source: nola.com/gambit/events/comed…

Colombia dancers :
Last month former adult film actress, @AmarantaHankTw , was elected to Colombia's Congress. Her political party, @PactoHistorico , a left-wing progressive party, won the majority. Hank has established herself by defending s*xual freedom, feminism, and s*x workers. @journomm

Sex workers visiting the U.S. have been increasingly turned away or detained at the border. New policies forcing travelers to disclose social media & other data could make travel even more dangerous for a growing list of content creators, educators, & advocates.
