This animation summarises the Smart Sex Worker’s Guide to Community-led Responses to COVID-19.
Sex workers were among the hardest hit at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and continue to be impacted by this global public health crisis. The challenges that sex workers faced before COVID-19, as a result of criminalisation, stigma and discrimination, were all exacerbated by the pandemic. As governments failed to provide adequate assistance in their emergency responses and social protection mechanisms, sex worker-led organisations around the world stepped up to support their communities.
NSWP animations are a tool for sex workers' advocacy worldwide. This animation was created by Smo Sienkiewicz. The illustrations used throughout the video were created by Molly Hankinson.
