We, alongside a network, assist adults in sex industries who experience preventable forms of harm, including institutional violence. We join the fight for rights & recognition, and the call for evidence-informed policy making. Also see cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a63…

Sex Workers’ Union (@swunion_uk) 's Twitter Profile Photo

If you want sex workers to be safe, the right question to ask is how can sex workers’ access work rights when they or their workplaces are criminalised? Criminalisation does nothing to end or prevent sex work, but it does make sex workers more unsafe and at risk whilst we work.

Sex Workers’ Union (@swunion_uk) 's Twitter Profile Photo

We’re at the TUC women’s conference, alongside our comrades DecrimNow, to talk about why the full decriminalisation of sex work is a trade union issue. Sex workers are workers & we deserve the right to organise as workers to better our conditions. Chat to us & find out more!

National Ugly Mugs is trans-inclusive and critical of biological determinism which has historically been used against trans people, racialised folk, and disabled communities. We are therefore saddened by the news of the UK Supreme Court ruling

NUM will always be a place of safety and warmth for sex workers of all genders, where your identity is respected and your lived experience is cherished. Fighting for the rights of sex workers means fighting for the rights of all
