We aim to create a sexually liberated world where all workers have the autonomy and power to fully enjoy their human rights.
Free Legal Services
Immigration and asylum legal services for sex workers and survivors of human trafficking
Education
In order to destigmatize sex work we are committed to teaching our communities about our anti-oppressive, harm reductive, and trauma informed practices.
Policy & Research
We engage in rigorous evidence-based policy advocacy and research to defend the human rights of sex workers and people trafficked in the sex trades.
Black Lives Matter
The inequity in our society increases the challenges that Black people face in the sex work industry. Black trans people are targeted and murdered disproportionately whether they are working or not. To create change we took action to support the repeal of the Walking While Trans Ban and aim to increase the visibility of Black trans and gender nonconforming communities. We also partner with organizations that are Black and sex work led such as the Black Sex Workers Collective (BSWC) and the BIPOC Adult Industry Collective to amplify Black voices. One of our core values is to work towards living in an anti-oppressive society, advocating for Black lives by changing legislation, increasing mutual-aid and supporting efforts that are anti-racist.
