Sex Workers Outreach Project USA
Welcome to the new and improved SWOP-USA website! We’re going through many changes as an organization and a digital overhaul is part of that. You’ll find an entirely new resource section, our Chapter Hub site has moved here, and we’ll also be producing significantly more resource sheets in the coming months.
Sex Workers Outreach Project-USA is a national social justice network dedicated to the fundamental human rights of people involved in the sex trade and their communities, focusing on ending violence and stigma through education and advocacy.

It’s been said before, but we can hold and pursue the mission of prison abolition while also feeling relief that a predator of sex workers is off the streets. Movement wide we grapple and address this.
If you’re interested in learning more about prison abolition, I highly recommend this interview with @prisonculture, which was part of our reading at the last student prison abolition reading group: https://thenextsystem.org/learn/stories/towards-horizon-abolition-conversation-mariame-kaba

"My goal is to open up a BDSM dungeon for Black and Afro-Latina women," Marley says. "We do have dungeons [in NYC], but they're very white-centric, so my goal is to have a safe space for us. And if that safe space can be funded by my findomming, well, that would just be amazing."
