MIGRANT SEX
​WORKERS PROJECT

We are a grassroots group of migrants, sex workers, and allies who demand safety and dignity for all sex workers regardless of immigration status. We are creating tools that migrant sex workers use to protect themselves against human rights violations, educating the public about the dangers of anti-trafficking and advocating to change policies that hurt and exploit migrants in the sex trade.

​REPORT ON MIGRANT SEX WORKERS JUSTICE AND THE TROUBLE WITH “ANTI-TRAFFICKING": RESEARCH, ACTIVISM, ART ​

​SHIFTING THE FRAME TO JUSTICE-BASED APPROACHES TO MIGRANT SEX WORK
We are currently awash in a sea of sensationalist misinformation about the realities of migrants in the sex trade—misinformation that informs legal and social politics. Rarely do we hear the voices of migrant sex workers themselves or unbiased evidence-based research.

In May 2015, The Migrant Sex Workers Project hosted an evening of discussion, research and story sharing from migrant sex workers. This report summarizes the findings and stories of that evening.  We hope this report helps us to make more informed decisions and to demand safety and dignity for all sex workers regardless of immigration status.
