December 17th
December 17th is the day we remember and mourn all the sex workers murdered over the last 12 months. It began in 2003, in response to the decades long reign of terror of Gary Ridgeway, “the Green River Killer”, a man who knew that as long as he killed sex workers, law enforcement wouldn’t be motivated to stop him. Despite being a strong suspect as early as the 1980s, Ridgeway was not arrested and tried for another 20 years.
The pattern continues to this day. The Long Island Killer has been active since the 90s, yet when a sex worker called the police in terror for her life, the police mocked and ignored her. Her body was discovered a year later, and the Long Island Killer is still at large.
On my birthday (12/24) in 2014 a woman’s body was found in the stairwell of a Portland hotel. Her mother called the hotel multiple times, worried about her, but because of laws that would position her as a trafficker of her daughter and a promoter of prostitution, was too afraid to call the police.
Today we remember all of our sisters and brothers taken from us by violence that is aided and abetted by white supremacy, misogyny, and capitalism, violence that is carried out as much by law enforcement and the justice system as it is by more illicit murderers; violence that is winked at by even mainstream feminists, and silently approves of by many.
It’s international day to end violence against sex workers, violence that won’t end until the violence of white supremacist patriarchy is ended.
Don’t forget us. Say their names.
