Macedonia: Police Raid and Forced Testing of 23 Sex Workers in Skopje – UPDATE
A coalition of NGOs and activists took the following steps to respond to the unjust and inhumane treatment of sex workers duing the police raid: they hired lawyers, made official complaints to every human rights protective mechanism in the country (Ombudsman, Sector for internal control within Mol, Commission for human rights within the Parliament etc.), alerted and collaborated with international allies, sent letters to the Government, maintained regular contacts with media, provided legal and psychosocial support to sex workers, among other actions.
Albania: Media Publishes Results of Survey with Sex Workers
Aksion Plus invited a journalist from one of the biggest newspapers in Tirana to participate in conducting interviews with sex worker groups. The journalist held interviews together with Aksion Plus’ peer-educator and social worker. The discussions took part in the office of the organization and in the street. The interviews revealed that conditions under which sex workers provide their services are far from being good in terms of hygiene. Also social support and childcare are lacking.
Bulgaria: Research on Bulgarian Sex Workers
Thein-depth analysis begins with an assessment of internal market of sexual services and the Balkan context. According the author, after the collapse of the communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe these countries went through serious political, economic and social changes. In the beginning of the 90’s most sex workers on the territory were poor females, mainly from the Roma community.
Part 1: confronting abuses in the workplace
Can you tell me about sex work in Kazakhstan ?
About two years ago, you could see girls on the street. Right now, the Department of Internal Affairs is trying to convince people that there is no prostitution in Kazakhstan so most sex work takes places in saunas, cafes, clubs, private flats or by call. In saunas though, men get drunk and beat up girls and force them to do things they have not agreed upon against their will.
What recourse does a sex worker have in that situation ?
