Unfortunately, the government forgets us and our rights, does not talk to us directly, and does not propose any real help when there is a crisis like the covid pandemic. I would like to tell them that sex work is also work.
Everything is very, very, very hard, because I am Romanian and I am discriminated because of this. I wish other Romanians and colleagues of other nationalities would not have the problems I had. I wish there was no more racism in this...
We want the government to help us, because we need assistance, but little is done. Some dislike and disrespect our job. They are, nonetheless, willing to use our services.
I hope that things will get better in that country that has welcomed me so warmly. However, stigmatisation is always present. I am a trans-girl and don’t have the same rights as other people.
As a Romanian you already carry a label, being a sex worker on top of that, it’s a disaster. Not all girls have pimps, not all are forced and not all do sex work without wanting to. I like what I do, for me it is like a social job. I receive and I give. I hope...
