Red Umbrella March

December 17 marks International Day for the Protection of Sex Workers from Violence and Cruelty.
The day appeared in 2003, initially in order to commemorate the victims of the serial killer from America, who tracked and killed sex workers and teenage girls who had run away from home.
Subsequently, this day became an event of international significance, to which more and more activists and organizations join each year, as sex workers around the world face similar forms of institutionalized violence and discrimination.
The International Day for the Protection of the Rights of Sex Workers from Violence and Cruelty has already formed its own tradition, called the March of Red Umbrellas. For the first time, a red umbrella as a symbol of resistance appeared in 2001 at the First World Congress of Sex Workers in Venice. In 2005, the International Committee on the Rights of Sex Workers in Europe recognized the red umbrella as a symbol of the struggle to protect the rights of sex workers.
On this day, all those who are not indifferent to the problem of discrimination of sex workers take to the streets with red umbrellas.
