Pick of the Day: Stand Up for Sex Workers (Live-streamed from UK) 12/17
Pandemic or no, sex workers all around the world do some very essential work and very much need to be appreciated and supported as such. Dec. 17th marks International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers and UK’s Siân Docksey will be putting an extravaganza of a live-stream comedy variety show, Stand Up for Sex Workers.

Proceeds from Stand Up for Sex Workers will go to funds and charities in the UK that strive to end violence against sex workers as well as supporting sex workers in crisis due to COVID-19. So, watching this live-stream will give you an entire evening of British comedy and variety (that’s not for kids) and you’ll be giving sex workers the respect and aid that they deserve.
