In March 2025 at the UN Commission on the Status of Women in New York, members of the Sex Work Donor Collaborative presented our most recent publication with a panel of sex workers from across the globe entitled From Do-No-Harm to Inclusion: A Toolkit for Funders on the Issue of Sex Work.
Red Umbrella Fund holds a permanent seat on the Steering Committee and provided significant contributions to the initial drafts nearly six years ago, as well as providing detailed support through our Secretariat members who serve on the three SWDC Committees that conceived, reviewed, and edited this report. We are proud to now release this document, crafted with care with the members of the Sex Work Donor Collaborative.
“…this toolkit is designed for funders, donors, funder intermediaries, and co-implementers who are committed to human rights and interested in exploring how their funding impacts the sex worker community. This toolkit is designed to help funders navigate the often-complex issues surrounding sex work and to offer practical steps for developing a principled, human rights-based approach to grantmaking—moving toward ensuring greater inclusion and equity. ”
