The Inter national Tribunal on Crimes Against Women in Brussels heard militant prostitutes from the United States, Israel, Europe and Japan push for decriminalizing sex work.

Margo St James described militant groups in Britain, West Germany, Belgium, Israel, Norway, Japan and France where sex workers have protested criminalization, including streetwalkers occupying churches last year.
