Resources

We gather evidence to fuel advocacy, understand community needs, and push for change with recommendations rooted in lived experience. By combining research with insights from sex workers, we make sure our information is clear, accessible, and impactful. Our goal is to use this evidence to demand fairer, rights-based policies and hold policymakers accountable for decisions that affect us. Nothing about us without us!

In this section you will find:

  • Data and quotes from the lived experiences of sx workers
  • Data to back up your research 
  • Toolkits for advocacy and campaigning
