Funders, Networks, & Allies

Resources from Funders and Allied Organisations Supporting Sex Workers’ RightsWe have organised the growing community of organisations supporting sex worker rights and provided brief introductions to strengthen the support available to the sex worker rights movement.

Ariadne (European Funders for Social Change and Human Rights) is a European peer-to-peer network of more than 600 funders and philanthropists who support social change and human rights.

DemandAT is an interdisciplinary project addressing the challenge of understanding demand for trafficking in human beings and analysing the policy and practical measures that can influence this demand. The project feeds into recent efforts of European countries to find ways to reduce demand for the products and services provided by trafficked persons within their own economies and societies as a means of tackling trafficking. The project investigates multiple forms of trafficking and forced labour to assess the impact and potential of demand-side measures to reduce trafficking. The DemandAT project brings together a multidisciplinary team of experts across seven European countries from 1 January 2014 to 30 June 2017.

WO=MEN is the number one platform that strives for worldwide gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. We monitor policy, share knowledge, join forces and connect and mobilise people. We work on social transformation in order to achieve equal power relations between women and men, girls and boys, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity. Unequal power relations between people – such as those based on sex, race, class, disability or age (intersectionality) – must never lead to unequal treatment.
