Access Chapter 2 admitted as amicus curiae in landmark sex work decriminalisation case
In May 2024 in the Western Cape Division of the High Court, S.H. and The Sex Workers Education and Advocacy Taskforce (SWEAT) launched a landmark legal challenge to decriminalise sex work in South Africa. In the application referred to as S.H. and Another v The Minister of Justice and Correctional Services and Others , SWEAT is the second applicant and positions itself in support of the first applicant, S.H., who is a sex worker based in Cape Town. The founding affidavit is deposed to by S.H., and in it she chronicles the harassment, lack of protection, stigmatisation and discrimination that she endures as a sex worker. In this groundbreaking and historic application, both S.H. and SWEAT seek to have the legislation that criminalises sex work in South Africa declared unconstitutional and to, as a consequence, have sex work decriminalised.
