Sex Work, Human Rights, Labour, and Migration Conference
| Location: | Brussels, Belgium |
| Event Date: | October 15, 2005 - October 17, 2005 |
At the conference "Sex Work, Human Rights, Labour, and Migration," 120 sex workers from 26 countries gathered to develop a common platform for ending discrimination against the commercial sex industry and for demanding their rights. Organized by the International Committee on the Rights of Sex Workers in Europe (ICRSE), the conference gave sex workers the opportunity to collaborate with each other and with their allies from human rights, labor, and migration organizations (who joined them on October 16) to share expertise and determine future courses of action.
The conference grew out of several years of research into the problems facing sex workers in Europe, and led to the draft version of “The Declaration on the Rights of Sex Workers.” At the conference, participants refined the declaration and made recommendations regarding the protection of sex workers’ human rights, violence against sex workers, labor rights, migration, and trafficking. The final day of the conference was hosted by the Greens and European Free Alliance at the European Parliament where participants presented the final Declaration, Recommendations, and Sex Worker Manifesto. All three versions of the document are available for download below.
