Organizations That Support Prostitution/Prostitutes Or Are Working To Decriminalize Prostitution

Please note that these organizations are NOT for referrals to sex workers, especially in areas where prostitution is illegal. Don't waste your time and their's by asking. Cops ask them all the time to try to snag them for pandering. They cannot respond to such requests.

These organizations' names, &#34;snail mail&#34; and e-mail addresses, telephone and FAX numbers change frequently due to the illegality of sex work in most countries and subsequent police harassment. A special thanks to Catherine La Croix of COYOTE/Seattle for supplying this list. Last updated 08/96.

Organizations such as COYOTE are political advocacy groups and are not allowed 501(c)(3) non-profit tax status. Catherine has personally contributed about $20,000 of her own money to the cause. Donations of money or in-kind, e.g. printing, office equipment (copiers et. al.), etc., to this or other organizations below are always appreciated and helpful.

The North American Task Force on Prostitution (NTFP) was founded in 1979, to act as an umbrella organization for prostitutes and prostitutes' rights organizations in different parts of the United States. In 1994, its scope was expanded to include organizations and individuals who support the rights of prostitutes and other sex workers. The NTFP is thus a network of sex workers, sex workers' rights organizations, and individuals and organizations that support the rights of sex workers to organize on their own behalf, work safely and without legal repression, travel without legal restrictions, have families and raise children, and enjoy the same rights, responsibilities, and privileges as other people. Affiliated organizations include: COYOTE-San Francisco, COYOTE-Los Angeles, HIRE-Atlanta, PONY-New York, SWAC-San Francisco, SWAT-Toronto, and Willing Women Workers-Minneapolis/St. Paul.

The NTFP is affiliated with the International Committee for Prostitutes Rights (ICPR), based in the Netherlands, with a growing number of affiliated organizations in Europe, North and South America, Australasia, and Africa, and the Network of Sex Work Projects, based in the United Kingdom.

The Sex Workers' Alliance of Vancouver was founded in 1994 to fight for sex workers' rights to fair wages and working conditions that are safe, clean and healthy. We are people who work or have worked in the sex industry and our friends. We meet informally to develop and implement ways to make the sex trade a safer and healthier place to work. With this aim SWAV opposes any law that criminalizes work in the sex trade. Currently, SWAV publishes a Bad Calls List (a database of descriptions of violent men who pose as clients of pros who make dates over the phone), health and legal information and provides free condoms. Members are available for support for others working in the sex trade and to educate service providers about the needs of sex workers. SWAV is a member of the North American Task Force on Prostitution (NTFP), the International Committee for Prostitutes' Rights (ICPR) and the Network of Sex Work Projects. SWAV is not an agency of the government, nor does it receive any government funding.
