Everyone needs support no matter what your career. This is especially true for those working in the adult industry. There are so many organziations worldwide whose only goal is to fight for sex workers’ rights. Below is a list of several non-profit organizations who are doing amazing work to attain those fundamental rights for everyone in the adult industry.

Here to Help

Here are some of the incredible non-profit organizations supporting sex workers:

  • Pineapple Support provides 24/7 online, emotional support as well as free and subsidized professional therapy and advice to all performers and producers who have been active in the adult online industry within the past 6 months.

  • The Adult Performers Artists Guild organizes performers, past and present, to collectively bargain, provide education, health care, and protection of performers rights. They are organizing to give performers a voice, support from their industry peers, to create a better performer, and a stronger industry.
