Sex worker rights refer to the legal and human rights that protect individuals engaged in sex work. These rights advocate for the safety, health, and dignity of sex workers, emphasizing that they should not face discrimination or violence. Supporters argue that recognizing these rights can lead to better working conditions and access to essential services, such as healthcare and legal protection. Advocates for sex worker rights often call for the decriminalization of sex work, which means removing laws that penalize individuals for selling or buying sexual services. This approach aims to reduce stigma and improve the overall well-being of sex workers, allowing them to work without fear of arrest or harassment from law enforcement.
