Summary
Find out the dates, history and background of International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.

International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers is observed annually on December 17th by sex workers, their advocates, friends, families and allies.

Originally conceived as a memorial and vigil for the victims of the Green River Killer in Seattle, Washington, US, it has evolved into an annual international event and has empowered workers from over cities around the world to come together and organise against discrimination and remember victims of violence.

The day was first observed in 2003, and was founded by Dr Annie Sprinkle and the Sex Workers Outreach Project USA (SWOP-USA), an American sex worker rights organization
