Mission Statement

The Sex Workers Project at the Urban Justice Center, in collaboration with and guided by impacted communities, offers immigration legal services to survivors of human trafficking and people who engage in sex work, regardless of whether they do so by choice, circumstance, or coercion. We engage in advocacy, education, and organizing to build a movement to protect the human rights of sex workers. We aim to create a world that is safe for all workers and where human trafficking does not exist.
