SWARM is a sex worker led collective based in the UK. The project was founded in 2009 (under our former name Sex Worker Open University) to advocate for the rights of everyone who sells sexual services. Our goal is to build a diverse and inclusive community of sex workers who work together to improve our working conditions and resist violence.
Some of our members will be speaking at events in this festival next week - plus all SWARM members count as ICRSE members for attending the non-public events! Check it out and register.
Our #DigitalSexWorkersFestival is here, from 7 till 11 December, a week full of activities and events by #sexwork (ers) activists and organizations.
Open thread for full program!
With just one week left to the deadline, we urge all our followers to submit to the Scottish Government's Equally Safe consultation. We know you are tired - we are too - but we have to fight the Nordic Model threat. We've published SWARM's response at: http://tinyurl.com/y2e9dhmb
The Equally Safe consultation is another push towards criminalising clients, which is very concerning for sex workers in Scotland.
Please respond to the consultation before 10 Dec, you can use our guidance here to help: http://www.scot-pep.org.uk/consultation #NotEqualNotSafe
We’ve just responded to the @scotgov consultation on ‘challenging men’s demand for prostitution’ – current approaches to sex work aren’t protecting women from violence
