2 June marks the day in 1975 when 150+ sex workers occupied the Church of St. Nizier in Lyon, France. A banner was hung over the church façade 'Our children don't want their mothers in prison’ The occupation was sparked by the brutal torture and murder of sex workers and a police crackdown against women. Within weeks churches had been occupied all over France and today’s international sex workers’ rights movement had been launched!
