Sexual violence against sex workers - a fact sheet
"It is critical that the government work to systematically involve sex workers in policy decisions that affect them..."
The materials in this kit seek to try to counter the prejudice, stereotypes and general misinformation that stand in place of accuracy about the circumstances of sex work and the people engaged in it.
