SWAN Vancouver provides services to and advocacy alongside im/migrant self-identified women who do indoor sex work.
Since 2002, SWAN has provided support to im/migrant sex workers in Greater Vancouver.
Im/migrant sex workers face multi-layered stigma, racism, and criminalization. Because of this, they are often unable to access mainstream support services. We offer low-barrier, culturally-specialized, and non-stigmatizing services through our frontline programs.
SWAN also works in partnership with community organizations and the women we serve to advocate for systemic change. Our research, advocacy, and law reform efforts aim to dismantle policies and practices that contribute to the marginalization of im/migrant sex workers.
We recognize that there is an urgent need to fight for the labour and legal protections of im/migrant sex workers, and we continue to work to secure their full and meaningful inclusion in our society.
