«Celebrating Sex Workers Alliance Ireland (SWAI)»

https://www.nationaluglymugs.org/swai

> In the same week as Sex Worker Pride (14th Sept), the Sex Workers' Alliance Ireland (SWAI) archive is now proudly hosted on the NUM website, celebrating 16 years of activism. We are deeply honoured to be able to preserve their legacy of peer-led support and advocacy for the sex work community. The service closed at the end of 2025 due to lack of funding, though their tireless work for the rights, safety and autonomy of workers in Ireland will never be forgotten.

> The webpage features SWAI's research, media, resources, and other evidence of their work. The Alliance provided valuable information for Ireland's sex workers including support for survivors of violence, and details of national laws, rights, immigration, housing, employment, and more. All are still publicly available in the archive.

> We invite you to explore and remember SWAI's contributions to sex workers across Ireland. Click the link [above] to visit their page and resources.
