Diversity Statement

The Desiree Alliance conference organizers are committed to support for representation and inclusiveness of cultural, racial, economic, age, and gender identity. Please read our Diversity Statement and join our efforts to build a respectful, diverse, and strong sex worker movement.

Legislators of this century have continued to fail to realise that prostitutes are not a special breed of women with compulsions to indulge in criminal behaviour... socially, culturally and psychologically prostitute women pursue lifestyles little different to the millions of other single working women, wives and mothers in the... community. Popular mythology keeps prostitute women separated from other women in people's minds, while the law, founded as it is in 19th century puritanism, keeps them separated in the social order.

-Working girls: prostitutes, their life and social control by Roberta Perkins

Initiatives to “end demand” for prostitution harm women and undermine service programs!

ASSISTANCE FOR SEX WORKERS AND SEX WORKERS WITH CHILDREN

Sponsorships and Donations

Your help is needed! We are eager to encourage broad sex worker participation and to provide support for sex workers from diverse communities at this conference. Please consider donating frequent flyer miles, or contributing funds for airfare and hotel for someone who would not otherwise be able to attend.

Several parents who cannot leave their children behind and require child care once they get to the conference need assistance too. That’s where you come in. Help us help these women and their children by donating enough money to pay for the childcare of at least one child during the four day conference.

Estimated cost for childcare for one child for two-day conference: $100.00

Estimated cost for airfare and hotel for one participant: $400.00

Desiree Alliance is a coalition of sex workers, health professionals, social scientists, professional sex educators and their supporting networks. We seek to encourage a better understanding of human sexuality by promoting ethical and unbiased research into sexual subcultures; to promote saner and more sensible approaches to policies relating to adult sexual health and behavior. We use this information to educate and empower the public to have healthy and rational attitudes about sexuality.
