This article is an account of the struggle of the sex workers' community in Poland during the COVID‐19 pandemic. It unfolds as a dialog between three members of Sex Work Polska, a sex worker‐led activist and advocacy collective in Poland. While positioned as researchers, activists, and/or sex workers, we transgress the boundaries between academia and activism, permitting a grassroots insight into the crisis situation of the sex workers' community. This method enables us to present the embodied experience of community solidarity in crisis. We recall our thoughts and emotions from the moment of lockdown and our response to the pandemic by organizing an Emergency Fund to support sex workers. We reflect on how the pandemic evoked solidarity, the conditionality of institutionalized support, and our resistance to it. In capturing our experiences, we also show how the pandemic exposed the pre‐existing vulnerabilities of sex workers, their invisibility as a community in crisis, and their overvisibility as subjects of punitive measures. Our collective work and discussion allowed for engagement in feminist knowledge production, but also constituted a community care process.

“很少,但是很多。” COVID-19大流行期间波兰性工作者社区内部的团结

本文介绍了在COVID-19大流行期间波兰性工作者社区的斗争。作为波兰性工作者领导的维权人士和倡导团体“性工作波尔卡”的三名成员之间的对话,这种对话得以展开。当我们定位为研究人员,激进主义者和/或性工作者时,我们超越了学术界和激进主义之间的界限,使基层可以洞悉性工作者社区的危机状况。这种方法使我们能够呈现危机中社区团结的具体经验。我们从封锁之时起就想起了自己的思想和情感,并通过组织紧急基金来支持性工作者来应对大流行。我们反思大流行病如何引起团结,制度化支持的条件性以及我们对此的抵制。在汲取我们的经验时,我们还展示了大流行病如何暴露了性工作者先前存在的脆弱性,他们在危机中作为社区的隐形性以及作为惩罚性措施的主体的隐形性。我们的集体工作和讨论允许参与女权主义知识的产生,但也构成了社区关怀的过程。
