DO THE MATH- Numbers matter! WARNING! ADULT THEMED : Although there are NO hard core adult images or content on this site, this site does contain adult information and it is not intended for children or persons who are underage. If you are under 18 and doing your school project on the subject of sex work, please get permission from your parents or teacher before reviewing any articles or artwork on this site which may not be appropriate for you. ' Our international colleagues,
allies and families continue to mourn the murders
of our peers in unnecessary violence- because
they were sex workers. In the US, police officers are
often the most dangerous person that sex workers
encounter: a possible serial killer of sex
workers,
"Steven Zelich, who worked for the West Allis
Police Department from February 1989 until his
resignation in August 2001, a few months after a
prostitute told police the two had struggled when
she tried to flee Zelich's home. Zelich told
investigators the woman tried to steal from him
and their struggle was his attempt to get the
money back. No charges were filed in that case."
His victims that we know of are Jenny
Gamez, a 19-year-old college student from
Cottage Grove OR, and Laura Simonson from
Farmington, Minn.
READ MORE ABOUT THE SERIAL KILLER COP AND HIS VICTIMS- HOW MANY MORE MIGHT THERE BE? Please join us in remembering and honoring Petite
Jasmine and Dora Ozer, Jenny Gamez, Laura Simonson
and the other sex workers whose lives are considered
disposable by an apathetic society. Never Forget
Them! Sex workers world wide held protests against the
violent abuse and murder of sex workers. To learn more about the tragic murders of Petite
Jasmine and Dora Ozer, we invite you to read the
following media articles : NOTICE: ISWFACE AND COYOTE LA want you to

Welcome to the website of ISWFACE (pronounced 'ice face') -the International Sex Worker Foundation for Art, Culture and Education. Our organization is run by sex workers* [current and retired] primarily for sex workers,* but it is also for anyone who wants to learn more about us, including students, researchers, academics, the media, law enforcement agencies, policy makers and of course, art lovers...... FYI: Please understand that we are all volunteers at ISWFACE (as are most all those who contribute their time to sex worker rights organizations) and we do not always have the time or resources to keep this website current. Unlike the virulently anti- prostitution organizations, we do not get the funding with which to afford to pay anyone for their time. We invite you to check out what organizations like Polaris Project, SHARED HOPE INTERNATIONAL, Prostitution Research Foundation (Melissa Farley's group) and others like them receive in donations and government grants each year (and also what ISWFACE receives annually) by going to http://www.melissadata.com/lookups/np.asp --- If sex worker rights organizations received just half the funding that the prohibitionist organizations generate- we might be able to make more of a difference. Please consider making a tax deductible donation to ISWFACE or any of our affiliate- sex worker positive- organizations so that we can keep fighting back against the lies, hysteria and hype that the media so often presents as the ONLY side of the issue. Sex workers are all opposed to 'sex trafficking' and any other form of human trafficking- and who better than us to identify and report instances of underage prostitution, forced prostitution and abusive 'pimps' and traffickers? As long as we are considered 'criminals' in the eyes of the law, we cannot go to the police for fear of being arrested or charged with a crime. Please help us change that, won't you? What's new?
PLEASE VISIT OUR AFFILIATE SITE FOR MUCH MORE INFORMATION ON THESE ISSUES: If you have an upcoming event related to sex work or sex workers that you'd like us to post, send us the information and we will post it on the Calendar of Events. Any questions? Please contact us at the e-mail address provided in the "Contact Us" link below. We look forward to your comments and suggestions! HOWEVER WE MUST WARN YOU THAT WE WILL NOT POST YOUR EVENT INFORMATION IF YOUR EVENT IS NEGATIVE TOWARD SEX WORK OR SEX WORKERS. IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU BELIEVE THAT ALL SEX WORK IS INHERENTLY DEGRADING OR EXPLOITATIVE TOWARD WOMEN OR MEN, PLEASE FIND SOME OTHER GROUP TO POST YOUR EVENT. WE ARE NOT THE RIGHT ORGANIZATION TO ANNOUNCE IT. Please feel free to download articles, posters and other information from our site. Except for print out versions of posters, the material is not for sale nor do we grant anyone permission to take our material to sell or make available through membership (paid) only sites. Use of material in a prohibited manner (downloading to sell or make available through paid membership on another site) violates our copyright and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible. |
