In February 2018 the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women (GAATW) published our new report ‘Sex workers organising for change: self-representation, community mobilisation, and working conditions’. The report documents how organising has enabled sex workers to deal with the on-going stigma and discrimination they face from society and the authorities, and to prevent and address the violence, coercion, and exploitation occurring in the sex industry.
