and remain silent as their worlds grow smaller and more dangerous".[49] Advocacy Information about unionization of sex work and non-governmental organizations: Sex worker:Advocacy Sex worker activists and advocates, including many libertarian organizations such as the Reason Foundation and the Libertarian Party in the United States, argue that sex workers should have the same basic human and labor rights as other working people.[50] According to Jacqueline Comte, there are three different stances when it comes to the issues around sex work: abolitionism, sex-positive feminism, and decriminalization. She argues that decriminalization is the best stance based on her found research. This will allow for better working conditions, police protection, and less violence against sex workers.[51] In June 2014, the Government of Canada tried to pass Bill C. 36, which would criminalize the purchase or advertising of sexual services. Organizations like Stella L'amie de Maimie, tried to put pressure to vote against the bill. This is an organization that is fighting for sex workers to have a voice and to have the same rights to health and security as everyone else. They argue that criminalization will have negative impacts, like increased violence, more coercion, and human trafficking. Part of this organization is about free condom distribution and information and tools by and for sex workers.[52] Sonagachi is a project in India that is well known for its HIV prevention. They promote consistent condom use which has resulted in significant decreases in Sexually transmitted infection (STI). This project's focus is on promoting and protecting the sex worker's human and labor rights. The three tactics that they, and other advocacy groups, use for their goal is: Peer education between sex workers focused on raising awareness regarding STIs. Condom distribution (free or social marketing). Promotion and offering of STI screening, treatment, and management. Similarly to Stella and other organizations liker wants to give a voice to sex workers because they know what is best for them and what needs to be improved. The principle of these organizations is that sex work is a job, and it should be respected just like any other job.[53] Another viewpoint that some activists take is legalization, which would allow sex workers to undertake their work in improved, organized circumstances (e. g., legal brothels), where standard industry practices (e. g., practicing condom use and regular health check-ups for sex workers) could reduce the transmission of HIV and other STIs.[54] Many sex workers are asking for their work to be decriminalized and legalized to facilitate them seeking help if they are victims of violence. The advocacy groups are the voices to push countries to make a change and end the stigma around sex work
