International Sex Worker Rights Day
2026-03-03 | Victoria
This day’s history goes back to 2001, when over 25,000 sex workers gathered in India for a festival despite efforts from prohibitionist groups who tried to prevent it taking place by pressuring the government to revoke their permit. The event was organised by Durbar Mahila Samanwaya Committee, a Calcutta based group that has over 50,000 sex worker members, and members of their communities. Sex worker groups across the world have subsequently celebrated 3 March as an annual, international event, as International Sex Workers’ Rights Day.

When we occupy the churches
You are scandalised

You who threatened us with hell
We have come to eat at your table
At Saint-Nizier

Lyon sex worker grievances came to a head on 2 June 1975, when around 100–150 sex workers took refuge in the Church of Saint-Nizier in Lyon and immediately hung from the steeple a large banner on which was written ‘Our children do not want their mothers to go to jail’. Aided by young curate, activist and aspiring journalist Christian Delorme (audio recording of an interview, 11 June, 2012), the sex workers launched a media campaign explaining that they had occupied the church in desperation following months of failed negotiations in an attempt to prevent the threatened imprisonment of around 10 women facing multiple charges for ‘incitement of debauchery.
