She is a fighter! We salute her struggles. No one can take away the fact that she won her matches and got within reach of an #Olympic2024Gold
Indeed! We salute her struggles on and off the wrestling arena. espn.in/olympics/story/_/id/…

Sex workers and Allies from Nepal protest against the SR-VAW’s deeply stigmatizing & insulting report, which is a violation of the rights of sex workers. #ChallengingtheSRVAWReport #ProtectVAWs #UNAct

Everyone deserves the right to work, including sex work, to choose their occupation and to fair and safe working conditions.
These are fundamental human rights that ensure dignity and opportunity for all. Let's continue to advocate for workplaces that uphold these principles!

Leaving Geneva for Austria. I want to thank all stakeholders for their engagement with my report, for the opportunity to present a bold agenda for human rights in the context of drug use. I urge all member states to decriminalize and destigmatize. HARM REDUCTION is the way!!!

Violence against sex workers should be prevented and addressed by states in partnership with sex worker-led organizations. @WHO at the 56th HRC in response to the @UNSRVAW report on 'prostitution'. Thank you, WHO. Evidence and science back your entire statement. @SWASASouthAsia

Hon. Supreme Court of India passed an order to protect rights of sex workers according to Art 21 of the constitution. But the statement from #india at the @UN_HRC on the report of the @UNSRVAW did not align with Supreme Court.

Criminalisation of sex work is an abolitionist approach shown to harm women in sex work. It increases violence. There is documented evidence. #DignityForAll #AdoptPositiveLegislation #Challengecrim #DecrimSexWork

@NepalSwasa @SWASASouthAsia #SexWorkisWork sex workers must be protected and not criminalised. The right language, access to all services, framing of policy and laws are what is needed.

Our feminism is intersectional: decriminalisation of sex work is integral to the realisation of gender equality. #WeAreNotProstituted #DecrimSexWork #HRC56

Decriminalise work and abolish punitive laws against sex work. Positive laws and access to all needed services will lead to a positive environment for sex workers.
