The In Defense of Prostitute Women’s Safety project (IDPWS) is an anti-sexist, anti-racist, independent community resource that provides legal advice, other support for prostitute women who have been raped and/or sexually assaulted and builds public awareness campaigns to end violence against sex workers. Run by women from similar backgrounds, IDPWS respects women’s confidentiality and privacy.
