Last year we announced on sexworkeurope.org the launch of ¨Rights Not Rescue¨ a report published by the Open Society Institute (OSI) in 2009. This year OSI launched a beautiful animation based on the words and issues raised by sex workers interviewed in the report.
From the website of OSI:
¨Sex workers are subjected to widespread human rights abuses, including police violence and unequal access to health care, in Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. Despite enormous challenges, they are organizing to protect their rights and demand an end to violence and discrimination.
A report published by the Open Society Institute, Rights Not Rescue, is based on a series of interviews and focus groups with sex workers and advocates throughout the three countries.
In this animated short film, sex workers who participated in the research tell their personal stories and collectively call for hope and change. ¨
