About Us

We offer life-saving legal advocacy to survivors of human trafficking and people who engage in sex work, regardless of whether they do so by choice, circumstance, or coercion.

The Sex Workers Project is a remarkably effective, dynamic organization deeply committed to improving the lives of our clients. As the only US organization meeting the needs of both sex workers and trafficking victims, the Sex Workers Project serves a marginalized community that few others reach. Together, we are working to create a world that is safe for sex workers and where human trafficking does not exist.

One of the first programs in the nation to assist survivors of human trafficking, the Sex Workers Project has pioneered a trauma-informed and non-judgmental approach to service grounded in human rights, harm reduction and in the real life experiences of our clients. All of our immigration legal services are free for sex workers, those profiled as sex workers, and human trafficking survivors. We share our expertise through legal education workshops for sex workers, trainings for service providers and community organizations. We support sex worker-led organizations and pursue policy change, making a real and demonstrable impact in the lives of our clients through our holistic advocacy.
