Do you want to present at 2012 International AIDS Conference in DC this July? Would you like to co-present with other sex workers? Do you want to present but do not want to do an entire workshop? Are you interested in on criminalization and HIV, sex work and trafficking, HIV medical model, prevention treatment and care services for sex workers, sex worker research or something else, reach out to other sex workers and activists? Please join http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/2012IACsexworkerorganizing/ to talk with other sex work activists and find a way to collaborate (I’m one of the mods of the list). The majority of international sex workers will be unable to attend the country due to US travel ban (more here). So we need as many people as possible to propose sex worker workshops.

The deadline for proposals is February 15. The main conference has several different tracks of scientific and medical presentations, and the Global Village (which is free to get into) activities include sessions, forums, oral presentations, awards, networking zones, NGO exhibition booths, marketplace booths, art exhibits, film screenings and performing arts. The Red Umbrella Project will be putting in a proposal for the Global Village. You should consider it, too!
