 Foundation is a sex workers collective in Thailand which for 30 years has 
 been promoting rights and opportunities for sex workers, especially access 
 to education, health and legal advocacy. Over the years 50,000 sex workers 
 have passed through including migrant women from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar 
 and Vietnam.\n\nThis is a unique opportunity to hear directly from sex 
 workers as well as from grassroots women in the Global South who are 
 organizing for survival across different sectors of society.\n\nThe English 
 Collective of Prostitutes is a UK based group, founded in 1975, which helps 
 sex workers defend themselves against unjust charges and spearheads 
 campaigns for decriminalization, safety, and for resources so that sex 
 workers can leave sex work if and when they want.\n\nUS PROStitutes 
 Collective is a Bay Area based organization, founded in 1982, which won 
 parity for sex workers in compensation claims and with others got policies 
 establishing immunity from arrest for sex workers reporting 
 violence.\n\nSponsored by Global Women's Strike/Bay Area, GWS Oni

 Collective and Women of Color/GWS.\n\nFor more information contact
