Working in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia, SWAN was initiated with a goal to unite sex workers’ projects across the region, which in 2006 were isolated, invisible and with little influence, into one regional platform which mobilises, strengthens and amplifies the voices of sex workers. SWAN currently unites 27 member organisations from 20 countries of Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia. SWAN has been supported by Red Umbrella Fund since 2013 and aims with this grant to continue building the movement in the region, develop information and learning resources, organise Management Committee meetings and cover some of its core costs.
