SWOP (Sex Workers Outreach Project) is conducting a survey of the industry.  Virtually all surveys of the industry to this point have always focused on streetwalkers.  While some valuable information has been collected, it represents less than 10% of the industry.  SWOP is surveying the entire industry, but with a focus on incall/outcall and massage providers.

The purpose of this survey is twofold.  First is to help SWOP and it's allied organizations, such as The St. James Infirmary, better serve the industry, particularly providers.  Second is to begin to refute many of the myths about this industry to educate the public before this Novembers vote on Angel's Initiative.

If you have not already taken the survey PLEASE do so:

This survey is for active and retired providers, clients, and others.


For those unfamiliar with SWOP - This is the organization responsible for Angel's Initiative which has just received enough signatures to be on the November ballot.  Angel's Initiative will give voters in Berkeley and other cities a chance to vote on decriminalizing prostitution.  After you complete the survey you will be taken to SWOP's homepage or you can click on the link above and then click 'home'.

Thanks from the SWOP team.
