International Whores Day Anniversary Celebration June 2: DSW hosted a picnic celebrating International Whores Day. On June 2, 1975, more than 200 street-based sex workers in Lyon, France, occupied the church of St. Nazier to protest police corruption and brutality. They hung a banner declaring, in French, “Our Children Do Not Want Their Mothers in Jail.” Every year since then, sex workers and their allies have celebrated the continued survival and resistance we continue to face. | |
