Sex Work Awareness (SWA) is a non-profit founded by four women who were originally editors and staff at $pread, a magazine by and for sex workers. SWA members believe that all sex workers have a right to self-determination; to choose how to make a living and what to do with their bodies. They aim to empower that diverse community “by building the capacity of sex worker-serving and sex worker member-based institutions as well as the skills and resources of sex workers themselves”, as well as conduct research about sex workers and the sex industry, develop public education initiatives, and advocate for the rights of sex workers. As the part of APC's EroTICsⁱ Project, Sex Work Awareness is embarking on research to investigate content filtering systems in public libraries with internet accessⁱ in the USA, with an eye towards restriction on access to informationⁱ on reproductive health and sexuality.

WACC Women's Programme advocates full and equal participation of women in public communication so that it is enriched by women's distinctive needs, insights and experiences.

Women's Communication Network dedicated to give visibility to initiatives, proposals and actions of people and organizations - especially women organizations - that develope their activities taking into account the gender perspective.
