The Network's Mission

The Network of Sex Work Projects (NSWP) was formed in 1991. It consists of sex workers and organizations which provide services to sex workers in over 40 countries.

The NSWP aims to:

• Provide practical information and opportunities for information sharing among organizations and projects which provide services to men, women and transsexuals who work in the sex industry.
• Raise awareness of the health and welfare needs of sex workers.
• Advocate at regional and global level for policies and action which further the human rights of sex workers. These rights include the right to health and a safe working environment free from abuse, violence and discrimination.
• Develop and maintain links between service providers, sex worker organizations and relevant international institutions and agencies.
• Facilitate opportunities for the voices of sex workers to be heard in relevant international forums.

You can join the NSWP mailing list if you are:

• An organization or project which provides health or welfare services to sex workers and your organizational philosophy agrees with the aims of the NSWP.
• An individual sex worker or a sex worker organization.
