Violence Against Women Revisited: Intersectional Sex Worker Organizing

Thursday, March 12th, 2020 -10:30 AM-12:00 PM, Sarah Doyle Center for Women and Gender (26 Benevolent St, Providence, RI 02912)

Sex work has historically been a loaded issue, inciting heated debates across the globe. This event will revisit the radical values, history, and practices of the activism surrounding the topic and ask two-lifetime activists who have fought at the forefront of sex workers’ rights. Come join us for coffee, tea, and cookies, as scholar-activist, Margo Okazawa-Rey, and the director of COYOTE RI, Bella Robinson, share their perspectives generated from years of organizing for sex workers’ rights. Let us lovingly yet critically challenge some popular myths about sex work. We also have a collection of zines created by sex workers for folks to explore.

 

Coyote RI has changed the venue and substance of how we are commemorating International Sex Workers Rights Day. As we shift our legislative and policy priorities for the coming year, on March 3rd, we will be meeting at  The Dark Lady ( 19 Snow St, Providence, RI 02903) from 6 PM to 9 PM, to honor sex worker rights as human rights. We will come together in community and in joy, as a portion of all proceeds during the event will contribute to Coyote’s ongoing efforts to meet the immediate health and safety concerns of workers in (in)formal sex work arrangements. As we move further into 2020, Coyote will continue amplifying the voices of marginalized populations and strengthening the agency of sex workers to advocate for their health, safety, and rights without discrimination and receive equal protection under the law.

Souper Sunday: Coyote RI

Join us for The Collective’s first Souper Sunday! Each month a guest speaker will offer a discussion on a topic that relates to social justice and/or human rights and The Collective will provide delicious homemade soups.

This month’s Souper Sunday discussion, “Trafficking and the Industrial Complex: How Policies Affect the Every-Day Lives of Sex Workers” will be led by Bella Robinson, a sex worker’s rights activist who has worked in the sex industry for over thirty years.

Bella’s talk will focus on learning about the realities of people who work in the sex industry. “There are many levels of empowerment, and sex workers come in all genders, races, and ages. We are a diverse population that is highly marginalized and discriminated against. Supporting the human rights of sex workers does not necessarily mean that you approve of it, it just means that you agree that the violence, stigma, discrimination, and criminalization of this population isn’t OK.”

As the founder and executive director of the Rhode Island Chapter of Call Off Your Old Tired Ethics (COYOTE RI), Bella looks to build and strengthen support networks for sex workers in Rhode Island and she works in close collaboration with activists nationwide.

Bella’s personal experiences with the criminal justice system over the past four decades give her unparalleled expertise in the areas of sex trafficking and sex worker rights.

International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers 2017   Coyote RI Dec 19th, 2017

December 17th, 2017 from 12 pm to 3 pm.

International Day To End Violence Against Sex Workers– will be held at SE Green, 10 Davol Square Unit 100, Providence, RI 02903

This is a free community event, a light lunch will be served and childcare will be provided.

Many of the systems and institutes that are supposed to protect us are send to erase us

November 20th, 2017 is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Please watch and share this beautiful video produced by our colleagues at TGEU – Transgender Europe. And remember that the vast majority of trans people murdered every year are sex workers. If you are an LGBT / trans organization, you MUST do more to include the needs of trans sex workers in your organization. And you MUST support publicly and vocally the decriminalization of sex work. Sitting on the fence / being silent about sex workers’ rights is a betrayal of the trans community. In solidarity.
