We help you
Are you a sex worker and do you have a problem with an organisation or the government? Can't get a bank account or open a mortgage? Do you have bad experiences with the police, your doctor or operator? Or do you have questions about your licence or privacy? We can help you and find a solution together.
This is how we can help you
Do you have a question or problem with an organisation? The Sex Work Reporting and Advice Point can help you in several ways. See here what we can do for you. Send us your question or problem and leave your details. We will contact you within a week. If you prefer to stay anonymous, this is also possible. We will pass on your question or problem anonymously to an organization.
Advice (legal)
Do you have a question or problem with an organisation and don't know what to do? Then we will look at your problem together and advise you. We also have a lawyer who can help you and advise you about your rights.
Mediation and support
Do you need help arranging things, such as reporting to the police or applying for a bank account or mortgage? Or are you struggling to get a permit from the municipality? We are here to help you. Together we will find a solution to solve the problem or inform the organisation.
Informing organisations about problems
We collect all the questions and issues we receive and share them with the right organizations. This helps us understand the problems better and work together to improve the situation for sex workers

Who are we?
We are a small and dedicated team of four case managers. We are committed to good and fair treatment and rights for sex workers.
Some of our team have experience in sex work themselves, others have experience in providing assistance or supporting sex workers. We know many sex workers personally and have good contacts with various organisations. This allows us to discuss problems quickly and help sex workers better.
Besides the Sekswerk Meld- en Adviespunt, we run Ugly Mugs NL, a website where sex workers can warn each other. We also have Sekswerk.info, a site with information on health, legal rules and starting or stopping work.
