The Impact of Online Censorship and Digital Discrimination on Sex Workers
The digitalisation of the public and private spheres in Europe, exacerbated by global market competition and the COVID-19 pandemic, is making information and communication technologies ever more widespread amongst general populations as well as sex workers. While this digitalisation brings many benefits to sex workers’ lives and changes their working habits, new threats are emerging due to harmful laws governing digital spaces and the weaponisation of these technologies.
ESWA aim to explore and highlight these issues and present recommendations for sex worker-led organisations, digital services and platforms, and policymakers and governments.
