dear all,
this is a call for you to participate in a protest
around the women's
library in London.
This year programme of events at the women's library
focuses on
prostitution.
http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/thewomenslibrary/whats-on/events/talks.cfm
It is not difficult to notice that their series of
events completely
excludes sex workers, sex workers' organisations, as
well as anyone
speaking from a perspective that supports sex workers'
and migrants'
struggles in the UK and abroad.
This is a serious political choice that calls for us
to make visible
our dissent. It inscribes the Women's Library in a
much larger
strategy of systematic closure of spaces to
organisations and people
promoting the improvement of working and life
conditions in the sex
industry from a labour and migrants' rights
perspective.
The fact that this happens in a space which is usually
an interesting
feminist space is a stronger reason to react: this is
also our space!
That is why a number of us around the International
Union of Sex
Workers are organising a red umbrella demo in front of
the Library on
the 19th of October around 6.30 (while one of the
events is going on
inside)
Please spread the news, be involved with your own
contents in this
action, and if you want and can make it come to a
meeting on the 9th
of October at 7 pm to prepare it and discuss it (close
to Covent
Garden tube station)
the International Union of Sex Workers is at
www.iusw.org
