CookiesNScream 363 Report post Posted December 8, 2009 International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers Thursday December 17th, 2009, 6:30pm Vancouver Art Gallery, Robson Street Side! Join us as we march with red umbrellas, adopted in 2002 by Venetian sex workers for an anti-violence march, symbolizing resistance against discrimination for sex workers worldwide. We will be raising awareness about violence against sex workers and the organizations that support us by distributing materials amongst holiday shoppers on Robson Street. Fancy dress and festively decorated red umbrellas are definitely encouraged! The march will be followed by a gathering at the Lennox Pub/Restaurant (corner of Robson & Granville). WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
