Sex Worker Support

ScotPEP are a sex worker-led charity that advocates for the safety, rights and health of everyone who sells sex in Scotland. They campaign for laws that would make sex workers safer, make sure sex workers voices are heard in debates about sex work policy, produce resources, meet with charities, women’s organisations and others involved in social justice movements to talk about how sex workers can be better supported, and create space for sex workers to meet and build collective power, and we put on events such as film screenings and discussions. They hold monthly meetings, open to sex workers and allies, in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
