Happy International Sx Worers Day! May our future be fair, safe, and decriminalised.
Every June 2nd we celebrate our movement. It started with the legendary occupation of the St Nizier church in Lyon, France, by a group of sx workers.
In 2025, at the 50th anniversary of the St Nizier occupation, ESWA organised a region-wide campaign, with events, protests, parties and activities in different cities across Europe and Central Asia.
Today we launch a new documentary capturing this special day.
