On December 17th, the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers

On December 17th, the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers, New Generation Humanitarian NGO (NGNGO) joins the global community in honoring the lives lost to violence, discrimination, and stigma faced by sex workers worldwide. Today, we remember the individuals who have been silenced, harmed, or murdered simply for who they are and the work they do. Sex workers remain among the most marginalized and vulnerable members of society, enduring violence that often goes unpunished and unheard. NGNGO reaffirms its unwavering commitment to protecting and promoting the rights, health, and safety of sex workers in Armenia and beyond. For over 30 years, we have stood with vulnerable communities, fighting against stigma, protecting human rights and dignity, advocating for justice, and implementing programs that empower, protect, facilitate access to healthcare, social services, promote equal opportunities.

On the occasion of this day, we’d also like to present 

-the Report on the Role of Policing in Sex Workers’ Access to Justice was conducted by the European Sex Workers’ Rights Alliance (ESWA) in collaboration with 13 national partner organizations from across Europe and Central Asia, including NGNGO from Armenia: https://www.eswalliance.org/police_research_brief
