Our recent David and Goliath victory shows that the mighty Google really does listen to sex workers!
Google’s change of heart was an important decision for Turn Off the Blue Light, and indeed for sex workers all over the world campaigning for their rights. We sent Google a private thank you note at the time and we’d like to publicly thank Google here now. We’d also like to thank Jody Paterson for her support, notably her article in the Times Colonist, Google tramples sex workers’ rights.
The realisation that a small group of sex workers in Ireland can influence the mighty global search giant Google got us so excited in here that we had an idea: Wouldn’t it be great if Google recognised International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers with a Doodle?
(A Google Doodle is when Google replaces its standard logo with an artistic version of the Google logo in recognition of a holiday, event or anniversary. The official gallery of Google Doodles is here.)
However unlikely it may seem that Google will listen, we shall be asking Google to help raise awareness of International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers by marking December 17th with a Doodle. Before we do that we’d like to ask sex workers and allies all over the world for their feedback on some Doodle designs.
Which design idea, for a Google Doodle marking International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers, do you like best?
