Counting Sex Workers In!


Communication design and social media strategy for the Counting Sex Workers In! campaign.

The Count Me In! Consortium supports the voices and activism of women, girls, and non-binary, gender non-conforming, trans and intersex people who are often most marginalised in their communities. Among the most silenced voices are those of sex workers.

The Counting Sex Workers In! campaign puts a spotlight on sex worker-led advocacy and highlights the voices and perspectives of sex workers of all genders in order to advance understanding that sex workers’ rights are a human rights and a feminist issue.

Counting Sex Workers In! partners:
Count Me In! is a special joint initiative led by Mama Cash, including the sex worker-led Red Umbrella Fund (RUF), together with the Association for Women’s Rights in Development (AWID), CREA, Just Associates (JASS) and Urgent Action Fund – Africa (representing its sister funds in the US and Latin America), and the Dutch gender platform WO=MEN as strategic partner.
