Sex workers and their allies face significant obstacles in the fight to improve the health and wellbeing of sex workers globally. In the Smart Sex Worker’s Guide: The Failure of Anti-Sex Work Organisations to Protect the Human Rights of Sex Workers, NSWP explore the effects of anti-sex work programming and anti-trafficking initiatives that deny sex workers their human rights.
