🚨 Rape culture doesn’t begin and end with an act of sexual violence.
It lives in the:
🔴 attitudes that excuse it
🔴 stereotypes that blame survivors
🔴 silence that protects perpetrators
There is #NoExcuse for abuse — or for the culture that lets rape culture persist.

For us as sex workers, criminalisation can make an already difficult journey even harder. When sex work criminalisation intersects with abortion criminalisation, stigma and discrimination, seeking safe abortion care can come with fear, delays and greater risk.
This International Safe Abortion Day, we are calling for a world where no sex worker has to navigate criminalisation to access the care they need.
Safe abortion shouldn’t require a dangerous journey.

Here are some reflections from sex workers who participated in these sessions and how these conversations shaped the way we think and talk about abortion.
Today, we share some of their words.
