Seksworks
Empowering Sex Workers.
Seksworks Is a support group based in Tilburg of enthusiastic (former) sex workers from Zeeland, Brabant, and Limburg. Striving to improve the position of all sex workers.
If you believe that sex workers sell their bodies while construction workers do not, your perspective on labor may be influenced by a moralistic view of sexuality.
We are convinced that as soon as you criminalize or stigmatize something, you drive up prices and strengthen the illegal circuit instead of closing it. This also applies to sex work.
Sex work is about violence, exploitation and human trafficking. The proposition that paid sex is by definition involuntary sex, because the sex worker in question would not have chosen the client for sex if he had not paid, can also be viewed from several angles. How many people do you know who will go to work tomorrow if their boss decides not to pay anymore? If human trafficking takes place on a mushroom farm, this crime is tackled. There will be no ban on the cultivation of mushrooms.
Work is work, and provided sex work is a free choice, there are large numbers of sex workers who are happy to do this.
The choice to do the work is free and up to them.
Visiting sex workers also often has many different reasons. One person thinks it is arousing and exciting, the other is extremely shy and just wants to gain some experience. Some people just don't have a (physical) relationship. Due to a disability, for example, but the list is endless.
The idea that sex work facilitates cheating or is merely exploitative and involuntary is really outdated. The discussion about whether paid sex is good or bad has a lot to do with your personal beliefs, perspectives, or experiences. It is understandable that everyone views this differently. However, restricting this freedom of opinion or experience by law does not seem to us the intention.
