The IUSW E-List is a list for friends of the IUSW. You can join this list regardless of whether or not you are a member of the IUSW GMB branch.
This list is composed of sex workers and close allies from all around the world, where we discuss issues related to our work, our lives, and our activism.
The IUSW list is a confidential, non-anonymous email list open to people who:
- have experience as a sex worker, or work closely with sex workers
- understand the diverse reality of sex work
- recognise sex work as a form of work (labour)
- are involved or wish to be involved in the struggle for and recognition of sex workers' labour, human and migration rights
- and are involved or wish to be involved in the campaign for the decriminalization of sex work.
The list is confidential. This means that messages may not be forwarded or quoted for research or any other purpose without explicit permission of the author. Exceptions may be made only for public announcements that the poster indicates as such (e.g. "distribute widely") in which case the originator's email address must be removed unless it is specifically requested that it is included.

Confidentiality and safety: although all new list members are required to agree to the above criteria, list managers have no way to verify the honesty, identity or intentions of applicants – or, indeed, existing members. For your own safety, please bear this in mind.
