General Info
Sex Workers Outreach Project of San Antonio ~ SWOP SATX is a national social justice network dedicated to the fundamental human rights of sex workers, focused on ending violence and stigma by using nonviolent methods such as education and advocacy. What we do: ~Public Education–Members give lectures at local universities, develop and present trainings at conferences and social service agencies, and create and distribute resources to help educate the public and reduce individual and institutional violence against Sex Workers. ~Awareness—We hold public events, organize marches and protests, engage media advocacy and more to help raise awareness of issues of violence, stigma and discrimination in Sex Worker communities. ~Advocacy—Members advocate on behalf of sex workers and against institutional policies, practices and laws that increase violence and stigma against our communities. ~Empowerment and Leadership Development —We support the development of new leaders through retreats, training, and education on rights, community organizing, and inter-sectional social justice frameworks. ~Peer Support—Members create peer-led programming to support sex workers. We create and maintain bad date lists, conduct online and street-based outreach, hold workshops, and develop informational resources for community members. We aim to assist Sex Workers in the San Antonio area as best as we can, but unfortunately there are some things that we cannot help with. The following is what we do NOT do: ~We are NOT a social service agency. ~We cannot provide housing, professional counseling, or other social services, we can provide referrals to other organizations that do. ~We, usually, do not work with youth or anyone under the age of 18. We can, however, give referrals to other organizations that do. ~We cannot help anyone with suggestions on how to get into the sex industry, nor can we provide recommendations of places for people to work in the industry. ~We cannot assist anyone with money for legal fees or other expenses related to an arrest. We can provide court advocacy and support, if requested. ~We do not have paid employment opportunities with the organization, nor can we provide internships for college students, we can provide resources and help with applications for this. *****We are not a “rescue” group and have a non-judgmental, harm-reduction based philosophy regarding the sex trades.*****
