LOS ANGELES — JustFor.fans has added the Urban Justice Center’s Sex Workers Project to its Charitable Giving Program.
The national non-governmental organization's stated mission is to “defend the human rights of sex workers by destigmatizing and decriminalizing people in the sex trades through free legal services, education, research and policy advocacy.”
The 501(c)(3) organization has been providing legal services and advocating for sex workers for 21 years, aiming “to create a sexually liberated world where all workers have the autonomy and power to fully enjoy their human rights.”
RJ Thompson-Rodriguez, sex worker, human rights lawyer and managing director of the Sex Workers Project of the Urban Justice Center, said the group is “deeply grateful to be included in JustFor.fans Charitable Giving Program as a major site of work for sex workers online; it is an especially meaningful partnership to us because it is an example of sex workers supporting our own worker-led movements for human rights.”
“When workers are personally invested in our own struggles for human rights, we see better policy outcomes that improve our lives,” Thompson-Rodriguez added. “JustFor.fans’ support of sex workers on their platform and of human rights organizations like ours that defend, protect and promote the human rights to work with dignity, sexual freedom, freedom of expression and bodily autonomy, is a model for other companies to stand with and for workers, including sex workers.”
