This group, located in northeastern Ontario, provides frontline services and community building to women sex workers (cis and trans), many of whom are Indigenous people, in an area removed from major city centres. Mainstream service providers in rural areas have limited awareness of sex workers’ realities and needs, and SWANS fills this gap. SWANS’ core activity is a drop-in centre in Sudbury, which offers capacity building opportunities to sex workers through a peer education model on legal, health, economic, and personal issues, while also offering direct psychosocial support and health services.
