Sex Work

People who trade sex are impacted by the same systems the harm people who use drugs. While these communities sometimes overlap, the most common threads that connect them are criminalization, discrimination, and stigma. Sex workers use harm reduction to create more safety and wellness for themselves and their communities. Harm reduction for drug use and sex work are often siloed, but working for health equity and justice means fighting for access to these tools for all.
