The iBUS association, which looks after women and men in the industry, points to conditions that are still intolerable. On the occasion of International Day for the Rights of Sex Workers, the institution presents demands to make their lives easier.
On the occasion of International Day for the Rights of Sex Workers, iBUS (Innsbruck Advice and Support for Sex Workers) draws attention to violence against women and especially violence against people in this area. Seven women have already been murdered this year. “Stigmatization, outdated moral concepts and a lack of sexual self-determination, which particularly affects women, as well as the associated control of female sexuality, also mean that sex work is still largely viewed as reprehensible and vicious.” , explains Johanna Baumgartner from iBUS. Here are the specific demands: Holistic sexuality education that informs people of all genders about their rights Comprehensive violence prevention measures Expansion of existing violence protection measures Increasing funding for aid organizations Enabling home visits Expansion of legal job opportunities Abolition of compulsory examinations
