Until the recent slashes in funding, the US and the Netherlands provided vital support to sex workers around the world through programs on public health, ending violence and systems change. Approximately how much funding is threatened by recent cuts? What was this funding supporting? What will these cuts mean for global sex workers? How should foundations and donor governments respond to this moment? We will answer these questions, with time for conversation with the researchers and with sex worker leaders. Join us!

Speakers: 

Sienna Baskin, Coordinator of the Sex Work Donor Collaborative

Erin Howe and Dr. Ankit Rastogi, Researchers and Authors of Briefing Paper

Pitti Peter, Coordinator of Namibian Sex Workers Alliance

This webinar will be offered in English, Spanish, French and Nepali.
