what a terrible tragedy, i can only imagine their families and children.... sex workers everywhere are thinking about the last moments of their lives, it must have been terrifying .... seeing your friends killed,.... the gun turning towards you.....
one man was killed also, i wonder if he was a client or brobrosan.....either way, he likely lost his life trying to stop this animal..... a hero.....
like so many serial killers/ terrorists.... he felt that he would not be punished for killing sex workers, he was removing the temptation.... doing society a favor....
i really am at a loss and wish i could offer some kind of hopeful message but i am not sure that we will see and end to this kind of targeted attack any time soon.... as long as sex workers are seen as less than or crimes against us as different....we will see this kind of violence play out
at least here we have been free from murder of sex workers for 12 years, here we are beginning to see change...it's not perfect but we are moving in the right direction....
the worst for me is on the global sex worker rights list serves... when a country goes silent...when there is no word from the groups in a country for so long .... you begin to wonder....what is happening to them, where are they....sometimes we never hear from them again....and it's not like we can simply go and check.....
criminalization, mass incarceration....war......
i have spent the day thinking of our sisters and brothers everywhere and how precarious our lives really are....
