Sex Workers Granted a Voice to Promote Safety: Asia

No matter your moral standing on sex work, I hope we can all agree that promoting safety within the industry is a worthwhile cause.
A recent article from the Economist shares a breakthrough in efforts across Asia to involve sex-workers when brainstorming ways to make the industry more safe. Sex workers have previously been excluded from these government meetings for several reasons as the Economist notes, "In the past they have tended to be excluded from such international gatherings, partly because of language difficulties (“We learned English from our clients,” as one Thai sex-worker, a man, complained), and partly out of an attitude of official condescension, which saw the sex-workers more as the problem than as an important part of the solution."
