SWAN is one of only two organizations in Canada providing culturally-specialized supports and advocacy to im/migrant women engaged in indoor sex work. The diverse voices and ongoing resilience of these communities of women fuel SWAN's mission to change the social and political narratives that racialize, misdefine, exclude and otherwise harm them.

OBS

In December 2002, the outreach workers formed the Sex Workers Action Network (SWAN). In 2008, SWAN incorporated as a non-profit society [and] changed [its] name to Supporting Women's Alternatives Network to ensure the inclusion of im/migrant women who do sex work but do not self-identify as sex workers.
