Darby Hickey Reports on Mexico AIDS 2008 Sex Worker Pre Conference

Tara smiles at March in Mexico City!

Sex workers from across all continents, including most countries in Latin America, have come together in Mexico City prior to the International AIDS Conference to build community, increase sex worker visibility, and unify to demand recognition of sex worker rights as an integral part of HIV/AIDS work. Following on the great sex worker organizing that happened in Toronto at the last International AIDS Conference (IAC), activists are hoping that by coming together before the actual IAC sex workers will be better positioned to advance their messages and visibility, especially at a crucial time when new attacks on sex worker rights are happening in name of saving sex workers.
