| Coyote RI, a sex worker’s rights organization, celebrated International Sex Workers Rights Day at the Dark Lady on Tuesday evening “to honor sex worker rights as human rights.” The event was emceed by Amara Berry, Coyote RI’s director of advancement. She explained that “day’s history goes back to 2001, when over 25,000 sex workers gathered in India for a festival despite efforts from prohibitionist groups who tried to prevent it taking place by pressuring the government to revoke their permit. The event was organized by Durbar Mahila Samanwaya Committee, a Calcutta based group that has over 50,000 sex worker members, and members of their communities. Sex worker groups across the world have subsequently celebrated 3rd March as an annual, international event, as International Sex Workers’ Rights Day.”
