How are sex workers involved in your organisation?

Parmi les 12 personnes trans salariées de l'association, 6 sont issues des communautés TdS accompagnées par l'association. Par ailleurs, une grande partie des bénévoles et la majorité du CA de l'association sont ou ont été travailleuses du sexe : il s'agit d'une participation intrinsèque et continue aux activités et décisions de l'association. 

Among the 12 trans people employed by the association, 6 come from the TdS communities supported by the association. Moreover, a large part of the volunteers and the majority of the association's board are or have been sex workers: this is an intrinsic and continuous participation in the activities and decisions of the association.

What are the two main challenges that the sex workers you work with face

Les personnes sont essentiellement concernées par la répression policière et les violences, ainsi que la précarisation comme conséquence de la loi de 2016 pénalisant les clients. Ces deux éléments ont pour conséquence l'éloignement des personnes du droit commun et du système de soins et de prévention. 

People are mainly affected by police repression and violence, as well as precariousness as a consequence of the 2016 law penalizing customers. These two elements have the effect of distancing people from ordinary law and the care and prevention system.

Describe other areas of your work

L'ensemble des actions de l'association visent à lutter contre la transphobie. Elles sont organisées en plusieurs poles : santé et prévention combinée, social, juridique, recherche-évaluation, mobilisation et convivialité. Les droits des travailleurs-euses du sexe sont abordés dans l'ensemble de ces actions, car le travail du sexe est un moyen d'autonomisation financière pour de nombreuses personnes trans. 

All of the association's actions aim to fight against transphobia. They are organized into several poles: health and combined prevention, social, legal, research-evaluation, mobilization and conviviality. The rights of sex workers are addressed in all of these actions, as sex work is a means of financial empowerment for many trans people.
