On December 17th, the International Day to End Violence against Sex Workers, our movement stands in solidarity with all – including sex workers, people of colour and migrants – to overcome and end the violence that affects us all.
On this day TGEU highlights data from the Transrespect versus Transphobia Worldwide research project which shows that 1933 murders of trans people have been reported globally between 2008 and 2015. 99% of these victims were trans women, 65% of victims with known occupation were sex workers.
