The video of truckers making a party in the middle of the road caused outrage: In the midst of their mobilizations, and under a curfew, they celebrated without respecting any sanitary measure and groping two women who went to dance to them.
In addition to the cross-cutting criticism and a complaint announced by the Government, from the Fundación Margen, a group that advocates for the rights of those who practice sex work in Chile, they accused a discrimination and stigmatization.
The organization, a member of the Network of Women Sex Workers of Latin America and the Caribbean (Redtrasex), accused “extreme violation of rights of female sex workers who have been violently exposed in a controversial nightly demonstration of unemployed drivers. “
“The general public, the media, political leaders and opinion leaders, including various allies of our cause, have expressed worrying expressions that reinforce stigma and social discrimination towards female sex workers through terms such as ‘disgusting’, ‘outrageous’, ‘aberrant’, ‘lack of elegance’ and ‘prostitute terrorists’, among many others, “they said in a statement.
These terms, as they expressed, “are not only read as legitimate rejection of the truckers’ mobilization, which we also criticize, but as expressions of unfortunate stigma, discrimination and misinformation on sex work in Chile, an activity not regulated by law but socially, police and institutionally persecuted “.
“We are sorry to see ourselves exposed – once again – to public derision. We are not objects or motives for ridicule, we are citizens with rights (…) We are not accomplices of violent and unjust demonstrations, “they emphasized.
