Often when a sex worker gets arrested, s/he loses contact with his/her friends and support network. This is often because of the misguided notion that if one person is in trouble, hisThis is simply not true when dealing with state-level misdemeanors.

AGREEMENTS SUMMARY
Sex Worker Rights are Human Rights-Dignity and Respect
In the past respect and dignity were used against sex workers and other "un-pure" women to kill or imprison them. In our struggle for human rights we choose to reclaim these words and give them renewed meaning.
DangerZone411 is a resource message board that was started in 2005 and is currently ran by two National ladies who were, and still are, disgusted with our comrades being attacked, raped and abused. We have a cast of 13 Ladies that maintain our site and post alerts with the help of 2400 ladies as of April 2008. We are all active, working, ladies. Ladies that donate their time and have great dedication to our members here and the pursuit of safety. They put in countless hours a day combing the Internet, for local media information outlets, in order to keep every area up to date. Understand, Dangerzone411 was NOT created to be a man bashing site. We love all of our friends. There are just too many deceptive men trying to hurt us physically. We simply won't stand for it any longer. We know some deserve a chance at redemption and we will make sure that if found, the good side is heard too.
