  • Rally for the World against violence against sex workers Day , Lyon.<br />
This gathering also denounces the murder of a prostitute, burned alive in her truck in early 2020 in the Lyon region.<br />
But this world day mainly concerns Gary Ridgway, the killer of Green River<br />
Between 1998 and 2001 he murdered more than 48 women.<br />
At his trial he said: "I chose to go after prostitutes because I hate most prostitutes and didn't want to pay them. I also chose them because they were easy to approach without getting involved. point out and that no one would immediately report them missing.<br />
I didn't know their name. Most of the time, I can't remember their faces. I have killed so many women that I can hardly make mistakes. I chose them because I thought I could kill as many as I wanted without getting caught. "

  • In 1975, as many as 100 sex workers in France gathered at Lyon’s Saint-Nizier Church and protested against the criminalisation of their work and exploitative living conditions
The occupation of Saint - Nizier church by Lyon prostitutes refers to the ten-day occupation of the Saint-Nizier Church in Lyon by more than a hundred prostitutes on 2 June 1975 to draw attention to their inhumane working conditions.
The occupation lasted eight days until the women were removed by the police on 10 June. Sympathetic occupations of churches by prostitutes have been followed in Paris, Marseille, Grenoble, Saint-Étienne and Montpellier.
This day is celebrated in order to amplify the voices of those involved in sex work. The living conditions of sex workers are often exploitative. It is because of the reason that sex work is criminalised in several countries and therefore, its workers are not treated like those working in other professions. 
The protest happened each 2 June and this is why it is today marked as International Sex Workers' Day.
It is significant as even today, sex workers around the world are struggling to get basic rights. 
The day acts as a platform to demand equal rights. 
It also celebrates the impact of the first protest and how when together, the community of sex workers is stronger.

It is because of the reason that sex work is criminalised in several countries and therefore, its workers are not treated like those working in other professions. 
The protest happened each 2 June and this is why it is today marked as International Sex Workers' Day.
It is significant as even today, sex workers around the world are struggling to get basic rights. 
The day acts as a platform to demand equal rights. 
It also celebrates the impact of the first protest and how when together, the community of sex workers is stronger.
