31. International Day To End Violence Against Sex Workers

December 17th is International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. Started in Seattle in 2003 by Dr. Annie Sprinkle and SWOP-USA as a tribute to the victims of the Green River Killer, December 17th has become a global movement. Here at All In A Day’s (Sex) Work, we will observe December 17th by telling 17 stories. Every day between now and the 17th, I’ll post a mini episode in rememberance of a sex worker lost to violence. On the 17th, SWOP-Behind Bars will be hosting a 24-hour online vigil which is open to the public. https://www.facebook.com/InternationalDaytoendViolenceAgainstSexWorkers/ Today's episode presented in memory of:  Wendy Lee Coffield  Gisele Ann Lovvorn Debra Lynn Bonner Marcia Fay Chapman Cynthia Jean Hinds Opal Charmaine Mills Terry Rene Milligan Mary Bridget Meehan Debra Lorraine Estes Linda Jane Rule Denise Darcel Bush Shawnda Leea Summers Shirley Marie Sherrill Rebecca "Becky" Marrero Colleen Renee Brockman Sandra Denise Major Alma Ann Smith Delores LaVerne Williams Gail Lynn Mathews Andrea Marion Childers Sandra Kay Gabbert Kimi-Kai Pitsor Marie M.
