News from Sex Workers Solidarity

The organization informed about the present state of the “prostitute protection act” (Prostituiertenschutzgesetz) in Saxony www.facebook.com/sexworkerssolidarity/posts/1469915186458012. The prostitutes are threated by chaos at council offices, stigmatization and repression instead of the promised protection.

They wrote a text www.facebook.com/sexworkerssolidarity/posts/1473598319423032 in which they call upon to join together against stigmatization.

The draft of the prostitute protection implementation act of Saxony is leaked evibes.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/Entwurf-S%C3%A4chsProstSchGAG.pdf. It is worked out by the social ministry and was not yet meant to be published. Sex Workers Solidarity stands up for an official debate before the law is passed.

Support Alicja Tyisac

Dear Friends of Ciocia Basia,

we are currently trying to get funds for an eye operation for Alicja Tyisac, a Polish woman who lost most of her eyesight due to being denied abortion. We would be very happy about your support.

A pregnant woman from Poland, diagnosed with a severe eye disease, tried to get an abortion to avoid an escalation of her disease.

Her requests were rejected by several medical doctors and she underwent labor of her third child. Her condition later deteriorated, and she sued one of the doctors.

Her criminal lawsuits were rejected in Poland and the case was appealed to the European Court of Human Rights, which accepted one part of the complaint, and the plaintiff was awarded damages.
