** Sonke Gender Justice calls for prioritisation of the safety of sex workers

** For Immediate Release
------------------------------------------------------------
Sonke Gender Justice is deeply saddened and outraged at the killings of six sex workers last weekend in central Johannesburg.
The six decomposing bodies were discovered inside a panel beater’s shop by a security guard, after he noticed a strange smell coming from the building.
The President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, made a commitment in March 2019 to decriminalize sex work and to the safeguarding of sex workers human rights at the signing of the Gender-Based Violence and Femicide Declaration. Two years later, sex work is still illegal, and sex workers are still unsafe.
The decriminalisation of sex work is pivotal to the safety of workers.
