Fight slut shaming and whore stigma with us!
Donation protected
Whore is the worst swear word for a woman. Whores don't deserve respect, they deserve contempt and humiliation. It makes violence acceptable and the own fault of sex workers, whores, sluts, hoes, women. STIGMA KILLS
We are sex workers, researchers and scientists. We were tired of the stigmatizing way sex workers were presented in the media
We discovered that this was due to journalists' ignorance about sex work. And because of the limited availability of photos of sex workers in the image banks for journalism
We wanted to make a positive change in this. We decided to work together with journalists, photographers and editors
♥We have written a Dutch media guide together with sex workers and journalists and translated it into English
♥We bring sex workers and photographers into contact with each other and we ensure that new photos are continuously added to the image banks for journalism
♥We organize and build exhibitions at various locations (theatres, festivals, conferences, schools, universities, town halls, ministry buildings)
The Reimagining Sex Work media guide by sex workers and journalists, for journalists and sex workers, is available for free download on our website: www.reimaginingsexwork.nl
We do this with heart and soul, in addition to our jobs. We spend all the money that comes in on the printing costs of the exhibition photos and the media guides.
-> With your donation we can have new media guides and photos printed
-> We can pay for postage to send the guides
-> We can reimburse travel expenses for sex workers when they speak at an opening
