There are wonderful grass roots, peer-led sex worker organisations across the world doing important work, not only to keep sex workers safe, but also providing those who have been in exploitative situations with the resources to help them leave or re-enter the sex industry if they wish.
While we encourage you to make a donation to one of the below orgs if you have the means to do so, you can also help by educating yourself and addressing any prejudices or assumptions you have about sex workers. There are lots of resources available, from articles, blog posts and social media feeds which have been written by sex workers about their lives, needs and concerns. Help bridge the gap by sharing their stories, advocacy and campaigns.
