The International Committee on the Rights of Sex Workers in Europe (ICRSE) is going to present its 40-minutes advocacy documentary film: Crossings – Stories of Migrant Sex Workers.

Crossings is a sex-worker produced documentary about the effects of criminalisation on migrant sex workers in Europe and the powerful ways of their resistance. The film tells the untold stories of five people from five European countries (Serbia, Macedonia, France, Spain, and Norway) who come from very diverse backgrounds but have something in common – all of them are migrants who sell sex. Learn more: crossingsmovie.org

STAR-STAR – Association for Support of Marginalized Workers took part of the project „Changing the narrative on sex work in Europe“ coordinated by the International Committee on the Rights of Sex Workers in Europe (ICRSE) and the Sex Worker Advocacy and Resistance Movement (SWARM), by filming its own video „The Return“ that covers a migrant sex worker from Macedonia who works abroad as sex worker and returns home, explaining all the harsh situations with the police while working. STAR-STAR has its own premiere of  „The Return“ last year within the campaign “Two of those”, in order to mark 2 June – The International Sex Workers’ Day. Check the video here.
