SWIPE was born in October 2020 to fill the need for an association that could work on a national level, for all sex workers and that could act as a public face at a country level. SWIPE (Sex worker Intersectional Peer Education) is a sex workers and allies association, created to support Italian sex workers’ rights, promote an inclusive culture and fight stigma, whorephobia and whorearchy. With this first grant from Red Umbrella Fund, the organisation aims to organise workshops, a podcast, manage its website and social media platforms and continue strengthening its structures.
