The strike was prompted by a string of unsolved brutal murders of sex workers in and around Lyon. At the same time, the police also clamped down on the small hotels where sex workers saw their clients. Sound familiar?
The 40 year + contemporary sex worker rights movement has a vibrant history but most people will have trouble finding anything about it in the public sphere cause stigma means whores are rarely seen as capable of organising anything let alone a workers rights movement.
