Sex workers are taking part in the International Women’s Strike (IWS), with women in over 40 countries participating. Read the A declaration from English Collective of Prostitutes and Empower Foundation, endorsed by the Global Network of Sex Work Projects (NSWP.ORG) issued which puts forth some of the reasons why sex workers are striking:
“On March 8, in the spirit of solidarity as part of the International Women’s Strike, sex workers will strike against poverty, criminalization and stigma, whether by refusing to go to work, charging double rates or by any other action possible.”
The Women’s March on Washington is calling for a ‘Day without A Woman’ on March 8 too, International Women’s Day. The contingent is part of the IWS march in Oakland.
Bring Your Red Umbrellas! :-)

I spent several days with workers, in Bangkok and Pattaya. in construction site, on the top of high rises and in camps where they live with family. Here we are approximately 27 floor of a high rise in Bangkok. I think that I was much more afraid than this woman. She was so close to the border, and there was no protection.

[I would like to thank peoples who add the image in favourites, but a comment is more enriching. Thank you.]
Taken at the port of Maya ( nothern tip of Cebu ) where we catch our boat connection to Malapascua Island .
What caught my attention was this fella in black hoody with covered face,reminds me a bit of the Scream .I was trying to figure out why they covered their faces while others nearby didn't .Or was this cargo so smelly ,dusty ,or maybe they don't like being identified . Done somethin' hideous in the past ... my mindset on this line .It must be so uncomfy with the face covered in the heat.
A enigmatic photo of this man at work, but would anyone be able to identify what his work is, or maybe date the photograph?

Pearl C. Hsiung : born in 1973 in Taiwan, explores the space that lies between representation and abstraction. Hsiung creates a surreal realm of absurd anthropomorphism and metaphor--where humanity may be absent, yet symbolic traces still linger. Her intensely colorful large-scale canvases, small studies, and performance videos challenge the banality of the pristine images that dominate post-minimalist contemporary art. Even so, her compositions draw on the histories of painting, alluding to European fauvism and surrealism, Chinese landscape painting, American abstraction, and pop aesthetics. Pearl C. Hsiung received her BA at the University of California, Los Angeles (1997) and her MFA at Goldsmiths College, London (2004). Hsiung's work has been featured in the 2006 California Biennial and Disorderly Conduct: Art in Tumultuous Times (2008), both at the Orange County Museum of Art; and the 2006 Busan Biennale in South Korea. Hsiung lives and works in Los Angeles.

The Bowtie Project is a partnership between Clockshop and California State Parks to activate an 18-acre post-industrial lot along the LA River. Since 2014, Clockshop has executed over 35 artist projects, performances, and events at the Bowtie.

Formerly a massive rail yard and switching station, the Bowtie was purchased by CA State Parks in 2003 to be developed as a public park and greenway. The Bowtie Project is curated by Clockshop, in close collaboration with CA State Parks. Invited artists are commissioned to create temporary artworks or performances that consider the unique physical properties of the site and engage in timely conversations about the future of the LA River.
Public Programs including the LA River Campouts and Reading By Moonrise provide opportunities for Angelenos of all ages to gather under the stars for traditional campfire programs and readings of new work from contemporary writers.
The Bowtie was formerly the site of a Southern Pacific Railroad train yard and maintenance facility. The railroad closed the facility in 1985, and the structures were razed shortly after, although some concrete foundational relics remain on site. The Bowtie is located along the 7.5-mile Glendale Narrows stretch of the LA River, which connects Los Feliz Boulevard with Figueroa Street. The Glendale Narrows portion of the river is âsoft-bottom,â meaning that it features a naturalized rather than a concrete bed. The site has been identified as a key location for river revitalization.
Through an exclusive partnership formalized in 2015, Clockshop and CA State Parks will continue producing cultural programs at the Bowtie Project for the next several years.
The CCF Fellowship for Visual Artists is celebrating 28 years of playing an active role in supporting local visual artists in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles County is rich with creativity. We are a community where cultures converge to create a beautiful mélange of originality, diversity, synchronicity and dissonance. This energy has helped establish L.A. as a world-class art capital and a place where we proudly practice, support and value a wide array of artistic endeavors.
The CCF Fellowship for Visual Artists is just one of many ways that the California Community Foundation supports the arts by supporting those responsible for its very creation â artists.
The Fellowship brings together artists, arts patrons, and the community, creating a mutually beneficial program that has supported 274 artists over the last 28 years. We invite you to get involved and celebrate an artist today.
Together, we help L.A. artists thrive.
Not strictly a Finsec event, but here's a few photos of the Service and Food Workers' Union Nga Ringa Tota rally in Wellington on International Cleaners Day.
The 'Fair Deal for Cleaners' campaign that this rally is part of aims to provide a voice to the low-waged largely immigrant female workforce, in cities across Australia and New Zealand, who are calling on big property owners to support decency in their workplaces.
