New Zealand hasn't actually seen an increase in the amount of people doing sex work,
盡管無罪化讓她們在新西蘭從事更加安全。
but decriminalizing it has made it a lot safer.
性工作的人數并沒有上升。
But the lesson from New Zealand isn't just that its particular legislation is good,
但是新西蘭的故事并不能說明其特殊的立法是好的，
but that crucially, it was written in collaboration with sex workers;
但是重要的是，這項法律是性工作者合作制定的。
namely, the New Zealand Prostitutes' Collective.
也就是新西蘭的妓女聯合會。
When it came to making sex work safer, they were ready to hear it straight from sex workers themselves.
當談到如何保護性工作者的安全時，工會愿意直接聽到性工作者自己的聲音。
Here in the UK, I'm part of sex worker-led groups like the Sex Worker Open University

and the English Collective of Prostitutes.
以及英國妓女聯合會。
And we form part of a global movement demanding decriminalization and self-determination.
我們組織全球性活動，要求無罪化和自我決定權。
The universal symbol of our movement is the red umbrella.

We're supported in our demands by global bodies like UNAIDS,
我們的要求得到了聯合國艾滋病規劃署
the World Health Organization and Amnesty International.

But we need more allies.
但是我們需要更多盟友。
If you care about gender equality or poverty or migration or public health,
如果您關注性別不平等或者貧窮問題、移民問題、公共衛生問題，
then sex worker rights matter to you.
那么保護性工作者的權益，對您而言至關重要。
Make space for us in your movements.
讓我們與您同行。
That means not only listening to sex workers when we speak but amplifying our voices.
這不僅意味著傾聽性工作者說的話，更意味著放大我們的聲音。
Resist those who silence us, those who say that a prostitute is either too victimized,
反對那些讓我們沉默的人，反對那些說妓女被欺騙或者被傷害
too damaged to know what's best for herself, or else too privileged and too removed from real hardship,
以至于不知道如何保護自己，反對那些在特權恩惠下的，遠離苦難生活的，
not representative of the millions of voiceless victims.
無法代表數百萬微言輕的受害者的人。
