Welcome to the website of ISWFACE (pronounced 'ice face') -the International Sex Worker Foundation for Art, Culture and Education.

Our organization is run by sex workers* [current and retired] primarily for sex workers,* but it is also for anyone who wants to learn more about us, including students, researchers, academics, the media, law enforcement agencies, policy makers and of course, art lovers......

FYI: Please understand that we are all volunteers at ISWFACE (as are most all those who contribute their time to sex worker rights organizations) and we do not always have the time or resources to keep this website current. Unlike the virulently anti- prostitution organizations, we do not get the funding with which to afford to pay anyone for their time. We invite you to check out what organizations like Polaris Project, SHARED HOPE INTERNATIONAL, Prostitution Research Foundation (Melissa Farley's group) and others like them receive in donations and government grants each year (and also what ISWFACE receives annually) by going to http://www.melissadata.com/lookups/np.asp --- If sex worker rights organizations received just half the funding that the prohibitionist organizations generate- we might be able to make more of a difference. Please consider making a tax deductible donation to ISWFACE or any of our affiliate- sex worker positive- organizations so that we can keep fighting back against the lies, hysteria and hype that the media so often presents as the ONLY side of the issue. Sex workers are all opposed to 'sex trafficking' and any other form of human trafficking- and who better than us to identify and report instances of underage prostitution, forced prostitution and abusive 'pimps' and traffickers? As long as we are considered 'criminals' in the eyes of the law, we cannot go to the police for fear of being arrested or charged with a crime. Please help us change that, won't you?

What's new?

• Articles- Powerpoint Presentations- Newsclippings
  
• Artwork- Posters to download
• Links to affiliate organizations- and organizations who oppose us [we have the most links to affiliates anywhere!]
• Students information for their papers on prostitution (we support decriminalization rather than legalization- find out why!)
• Most asked questions about potential arrests and what to expect if you have been arrested for solicitation or prostitution (This is NOT legal advice but references past cases and is the opinion of the author)

• BOOKS WE RECOMMEND: Aphrodites's Trade and For Business and Pleasure and Breaking Rank- A Top Cop's Expose of the Dark Side of American Policing and to learn the history of the war against prostitutes and prostitution, read Whores in History - a comprehensive historical explanation of why some members of society are so obsessed with 'abolishing all prostitution.' It is a war that has been ongoing for millenia- because women's sexuality scares the devil out of them! A powerful book that everyone of the politically correct actresses who have embraced the crusade to stop so called 'sex trafficking' ought to read... but they won't!
