requirements

We want each other contribute and have a say in the elaboration of laws and Strategiesthat concern the working reality of sex workers.

We are against discrimination of sex workers, for example when looking for accommodation and places to stay, with banks and insurance companies.

We hold it Austria-wide uniform health card generally makes sense if we are aware of the complexity of the topic and the controversies surrounding the mandatory investigation. We demand Improvements in the examination process and make it clear that they are primarily intended to protect sex workers and should never be seen as a “guarantee” for customers.

Furthermore, an imprint address should be included specific contact person listed on such websites.

The following Changes to mandatory examinations The following would be particularly important for sex workers:

1. precise information about which diseases are being tested for

2. Make test results visible online

3. Diagnosis and treatment directly during the examination

4. Introduce the possibility of having prescriptions booked directly onto your e-card, just like with your family doctor

5. Allow cash payments again

6. allow a voluntary throat and/or anal swab at no extra charge

There is currently a health card (“lid”/ green card) in all federal states except Vienna made of thin cardboard in an unwieldy format, which makes these important documents that sex workers always have to carry with them at work extremely fragile. An Austria-wide one digitalization and combining these papers would make sense so that only one would be left for the mandatory examination plastic card is to be scanned. When you stop working as a sex worker all collected data at the request of those affected easily erasable be.

Sex workers in Austria are newly self-employed. We are registered with the tax office, insured with SVS, undergo regular health checks and pay taxes. There are no reason that we are the only professional group in Austria register with the police have to in order to be able to work legally. This is blatant discrimination born of stigma and puts us in the spotlight of crime.
