FSC's Lotus Lain to Testify on Sex Worker Rights Before UN Committee

LOS ANGELES — Free Speech Coalition’s Industry Relations Advocate Lotus Lain will testify on issues of sex worker rights at a hearing of the United Nations Human Rights Committee in Geneva, Switzerland.

The statement by FSC follows:

Free Speech Coalition’s Lotus Lain will testify on issues of sex worker rights at a hearing of the United Nations Human Rights Committee (ICCPR)  in Geneva, Switzerland. The Human Rights Committee is an independent body that monitors the implementation of civil and political rights among UN member states. Lain’s testimony at the 139th session of the ICCPR will take place on Oct. 17, during the body's review of the United States’ human rights record.

“The ICCPR hearing is an opportunity for us to elevate the issues that face sex workers in the United States and elsewhere,” says Lain, who serves as FSC’s Industry Relations Advocate. “Sex worker rights are human rights, and being present and testifying on behalf of our industry, and the sex industry as a whole is a way to bring attention and scrutiny to the discriminatory laws and practices in the United States. This is an unprecedented opportunity, and I couldn’t be prouder to represent our community.”

Lain’s testimony will mark the first time the Free Speech Coalition has been represented at the United Nations. She will be joined by sex worker activist Lorelei Lee, of the Cornell Gender Justice Clinic and the Disabled Sex Workers Coalition and Laura LeMoon of Sex Workers & Survivors United. Lain will also be speaking on behalf of DecrimSWCA.
