HIV2020: Community Reclaiming the Global Response, is scheduled to take place on Zoom from July through October of 2020.

The HIV2020 alliance has decided to organise the community-led event to provide an alternative for individuals who cannot or will not participate in the AIDS2020 virtual conference. Its goal is to offer new opportunities to reaffirm the leading role communities play in the global HIV response. ​

In April 2020, NSWP launched a global survey to understand the impact of COVID-19 on sex workers. To date, the survey has received 156 responses from 55 different countries. 18 of these responses were from 11 countries – Australia, Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, Myanmar, Nepal, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam – in the Asia-Pacific region. 

In May, Sex Work Donor Collaborative (SWDC) and Global Network of Sex Work Projects (NSWP) ran a global webinar to share sex workers’ experiences of COVID-19 and what funders can do to support the movement. View the webinar below or on the NSWP YouTube channel.

NSWP has launched an update to the legal mapping project, which maps sex work laws around the world. The information in the map reflects legislation (as of 31 March 2020) that affects sex workers through the criminalisation of the sale and purchase of sexual services, and the facilitation, management or organisation of sex work, as well as other laws used to regulate sex work such as mandatory health checks and travel restrictions.

A new analysis of the health outcomes of 12,987 people with COVID-19 in Western Cape, South Africa, indicates that people living with HIV and people with past or current tuberculosis infections have a two- to three-times greater risk of dying of COVID-19.

Juana R. Torres, president and founder of Mujeres Independientes Luchando por sus Derechos (Independent Women Fighting for their Rights), passed away in May after a stay in Santo Tomás hospital. Juana, who was also known as Dulce Ana, was a Honduran national living in Panama. There she campaigned for the recognition of sex work as work, saying “we’re always fighting for our work to be recognised, just like any other form of employment in the country.”

Sex worker groups around the world held events and actions to mark International Sex Workers’ Day on 2nd June.

La pandemia de COVID-19 no es una crisis como cualquier otra. El virus, el cual se ha expandido por todo el mundo en pocos meses, ha afectado a la vida de millones de personas y ha cambiado profundamente la manera en la que vivimos y trabajamos. Para las personas que ejercen el trabajo sexual, esta mala situación ha empeorado aún más con la restricción de acceso a fondos de emergencia y de cuidados de salud y con el aumento de las redadas, vigilancias y estigma.

La pandémie de COVID-19 est une crise pas comme les autres. Le virus, qui s’est répandu dans le monde en seulement quelques mois, a affecté les vies de millions de personnes et a profondément changé les manières dont nous vivons et travaillons. Pour les travailleurSEs du sexe, c’est une mauvaise situation qui s’est empire avec l’accès restreint aux fonds d’urgence et aux soins de santé essentiels ainsi qu’une augmentation des raids, de la surveillance, et de la stigmatisation.

Пандемия коронавируса отличается от всех других кризисов. Вирус, который всего за несколько месяцев распространился по земному шару, повлиял на жизни миллионов людей и существенно изменил то, как мы живем и работаем. Секс-работники оказались в сложной ситуации, которая дополнительно усугубляется ограничением доступа к фондам помощи в чрезвычайной ситуации и жизненно важным медицинским услугам и ростом насилия, контроля и стигмы.

On 2 June 1975, approximately 100 sex workers occupied Saint-Nizier Church in Lyon, France, to express their anger about their criminalised and exploitative living conditions. They hung a banner from the steeple which read ‘Our children do not want their mothers to go to jail’, and launched a media campaign to broadcast their grievances to the world.

UNAIDS and NSWP have created an infographic to illustrate that sex workers have the same rights as everyone else and their rights must be respected.

COVID-19疫情是一场前所未有的危机。病毒在短短几个月内就在全世界蔓延，影响了数百万人的生活，深刻改变了我们的生活和工作方式。对于性工作者来说，由于获得紧急基金和基本医疗保健的渠道受到限制，以及突击检查、监视和羞辱的增加，情况变得更加糟糕。

Asociacion de Mujeres Trabajadoras Sexuales（LIQUIDAMBAR）是一个位于萨尔瓦多，倡导全民获得健康服务的组织，公开谈论对性工作者的暴力行为。在我们的COVID-19影响调查中报告了他们在这场疫情中的经历以及它如何影响当地的性工作者。

在萨尔瓦多，由于避孕套和润滑剂、减少危害服务、艾滋病毒治疗和性传播感染检测和治疗的机会减少，性工作者受到了“100%的影响”。在政府的援助计划中，性工作者一直被忽视，许多人面临着不确定的未来。
