International Day to End Violence against Sex Workers

On the occasion of the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers, UTSOPI and Espace P (https://espacep.be/) invite you to an afternoon of workshops, discussions, and short film screenings. This year, we have symbolically chosen to organize this event in the city of Liège (so the event will be in French).

This summer, a sex worker on Rue Varin lost her life after being attacked at her workplace. It is important and essential for us to denounce this violence.
