Answer: Sex workers
The first global fund run by and for sex workers is Red Umbrella Fund. Red Umbrella Fund, which was established in 2012, brings together funders and sex workers to protect the human rights of sex workers.
The rights of sex workers are often violated all throughout the world. Red Umbrella Fund has helped more than 50 sex worker-led groups organise and speak out against the human rights abuses they experience since it was founded in 2012.
Sex workers and funders work together to run Red Umbrella Fund, with a sex workers’ majority ruling both grant selection and overall governance.
The term “sex workers’ rights” refers to a broad range of objectives being pursued by people and organisations throughout the world that specifically concern the human, health, and labour rights of sex workers and their clients.
These movements have a variety of objectives, but they all want to legalise or decriminalise sex work, as well as to destigmatize it, regulate it, and guarantee that everyone involved in the sex business is treated fairly before governmental and cultural authorities on a local and global basis.
In addition to adult video performers, phone sex operators, webcam models, strip club dancers, and other people who offer sexually related services, the term “sex work” also refers to prostitution.
Some people use the phrase more broadly to refer to “support personnel” including managers, agents, videographers, and bouncers at nightclubs.
The dispute over sex work is frequently cast as a matter of women’s rights, particularly by those who contend that prostitution is fundamentally oppressive and desire to prosecute or keep it illegal, but in reality, there are also a large number of men and non-binary people engaging in the business.
The majority of sex industry participants believe that laws banning prostitution, pornography, and other aspects of the sex industry violate their rights and do not want to be associated with illegal activity.
