    COVID-19: Brazilian s3x workers on strike, beg to be included in ‘front line’ workers to get vaccines (Photos)

    Sex workers in the southeastern city of Belo Horizonte in Brazil have gone on strike for a week, demanding to be included in the group of front-line workers receiving priority coronavirus vaccines.

    Thousands of sex workers in the city have been forced by pandemic-related closure of hotels, where they rented rooms to sell their services — to solicit for clients on the street, they say.

    “We are in the front line, moving the economy and we are at risk,” Cida Vieira, president of the Association of Prostitutes of Minas Gerais state, told AFP. “We need to get vaccinated.”

    Vieira and other women held a protest Monday, April 5, in a street where they used to ply their trade, waving placards declaring: “Sex workers are professionals” and “Sex work and health.”

    “We are part of the priority group because we deal with various types of people and our lives are at risk,” said Lucimara Costa, one of the protesting prostitutes.

    The government has prioritized health workers, teachers, the elderly, indigenous people, and people with underlying health conditions for the first vaccination round.

    It hopes to vaccinate these priority groups, some 77 million people, in the first half of 2021.

    “We are a priority group, we are health educators, peer educators.
