Livestream: Justice for Agnes Wanjiru demo - International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers

Copyright Juno Mac / SWARM This year, on International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers, with SWARM (Sex Worker Advocacy and Resistance Movement) and the AAWG (All African Women’s Group) we called a demonstration outside the Ministry of Defence.to protest the murder of Agnes Wanjiru, a Kenyan sex worker, who was killed by a British Army soldier in March 2012. The soldier has not been held to account despite his confession to a fellow member of his unit.⁣ ⁣ The recent outpouring about violence against women has revealed the systemic sexism, racism and transphobia of institutions like the army and the police. Sex workers frequently bear the brunt of this.⁣ ⁣ Agnes Wanjiru was a mother supporting a young child. Her heart-breaking death is a stark reminder that our lives do not matter to those in power. ⁣ ⁣ Justice for Wanjiru means ending the criminalisation that puts us more at risk, demanding resources so that we are not pushed into prostitution by poverty and holding institutions to account, so that they cannot act with impunity in their destruction of our lives and livelihoods.⁣
