Every year, we welcome groups of students to introduce us to our work and the topic of sex work. Sometimes we also provide a lesson ourselves within a study program. We will respond to these requests to the extent possible. However, we limit ourselves to higher education students in relevant study programs.

We can only offer a very limited number of internships. It usually involves only 1 to 2 places per academic year.

Assisting with final projects is often possible, especially when it involves interviewing our staff. Involving sex workers is much more difficult because, due to the stigma surrounding prostitution, they do not always want to be put in contact with strangers. We therefore carefully consider when we agree to this.

There is a need for a nuanced, honest, and respectful view of sex work. That is why sex workers, sex worker organizations, and journalists have developed a communication guide. It serves as a guideline for anyone raising awareness about sex work through the media, focusing on respectful language and providing tips to avoid stigmatization. You can read the communication guide here.

Additionally, we often receive requests for a testimony from a sex worker. This is usually not possible because there are too many disadvantages associated with media visibility for the person involved. There are only a few sex workers who want to tell their story openly. Most prefer to remain anonymous to protect themselves and their families.
