Globalization is often generalized as a tool that helps the poor to get rid of poverty, but the other side of the story is that, many people are pulled into poverty. The bankruptcy of rural economy pushes the rural population into the urban areas, where there is not enough job opportunity. Women are often the most vulnerable sector. In order to earn a better living, they turn to work in the sex industry, facing the intolerable working conditions.
On the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers (Dec 17), Zi Teng (sex worker concern organization) is going to march with sex workers from different overseas sex workers  (Japan, Cambodia, Thailand, US.........)from Wanchai  to demonstrate the solidarity and unity among sex workers, to urge to stop any kind of violence against sex workers.

Assemble venue: Wanchai MTR station, Southorn Playground exit
Assemble Time: 11.30am

In addition, we will have an exhibition at the Victorisa Park, displaying sex worker-related pictures, posters, newsclipping and so on to the public. We aim at telling the public how sex workers are discriminated and suppressed in the mainstream society. You are welcome to join our march and exhibition. Please contact Elaine at 2332-7182 if you have any enquiry.

See you!
Zi Teng
