How We Ran A Mutual Aid Fund
In response to COVID-19, SWARM started up a Hardship Fund to support sex workers affected by the pandemic. This report details what we did and how we did it. It is a clear eyed detailing of the logistics, funding sources and process of delivering the fund, incorporating reflections from the organisers on the experience. We hope this report can be helpful to others who wish to run a similar project.
No Silence to Violence
To mark International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers on December 17th 2018, SWARM published ‘No silence to violence’, a report on violence against women in prostitution in the UK. The report is specifically aimed at people working in organisations which tackle violence against women and girls (VAWG) and which deliver support services to women who have experienced violence. It includes in-depth testimony from women who have lived experience of doing sex work in the UK and features contributions and case studies from Basis Yorkshire, English Collective of Prostitutes and National Ugly Mugs.
