FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Prostitutie 2
Het vervolg van onze FAQ over prostitutie...
Organizations That Support Prostitution/Prostitutes
Or Are Working To Decriminalize Prostitution
Please note that these organizations are NOT for referrals to sex
workers, especially in areas where prostitution is illegal. Don't
waste your time and their's by asking. Cops ask them all the time to
try to snag them for pandering. They cannot respond to such requests.
These organizations' names, "snail mail" and e-mail addresses,
telephone and FAX numbers change frequently due to the illegality of
sex work in most countries and subsequent police harassment. A
special thanks to Catherine La Croix of COYOTE/Seattle for supplying
this list. Last updated 08/96.
Organizations such as COYOTE are political advocacy groups and are
not allowed 501(c)(3) non-profit tax status. Catherine has
personally contributed about $20,000 of her own money to the cause.
Donations of money or in-kind, e.g. printing, office equipment (copiers
et. al.), etc., to this or other organizations below are always
appreciated and helpful.

The North American Task Force on Prostitution (NTFP) was founded in
1979, to act as an umbrella organization for prostitutes and
prostitutes' rights organizations in different parts of the United
States. In 1994, its scope was expanded to include organizations and
individuals who support the rights of prostitutes and other sex
workers. The NTFP is thus a network of sex workers, sex workers'
rights organizations, and individuals and organizations that support
the rights of sex workers to organize on their own behalf, work
safely and without legal repression, travel without legal
restrictions, have families and raise children, and enjoy the same
rights, responsibilities, and privileges as other people. Affiliated
organizations include: COYOTE-San Francisco, COYOTE-Los Angeles,
HIRE-Atlanta, PONY-New York, SWAC-San Francisco, SWAT-Toronto, and
Willing Women Workers-Minneapolis/St. Paul.
The NTFP is affiliated with the International Committee for
Prostitutes Rights (ICPR), based in the Netherlands, with a growing
number of affiliated organizations in Europe, North and South
America, Australasia, and Africa, and the Network of Sex Work
Projects, based in the United Kingdom.

The Sex Workers' Alliance of Vancouver was founded in 1994 to fight
for sex workers' rights to fair wages and working conditions that
are safe, clean and healthy. We are people who work or have worked
in the sex industry and our friends. We meet informally to develop
and implement ways to make the sex trade a safer and healthier place
to work. With this aim SWAV opposes any law that criminalizes work
in the sex trade. Currently, SWAV publishes a Bad Calls List (a
database of descriptions of violent men who pose as clients of pros
who make dates over the phone), health and legal information and
provides free condoms. Members are available for support for others
working in the sex trade and to educate service providers about the
needs of sex workers. SWAV is a member of the North American Task
Force on Prostitution (NTFP), the International Committee for
Prostitutes' Rights (ICPR) and the Network of Sex Work Projects.
SWAV is not an agency of the government, nor does it receive any
