Welcome to the website of the Best Practices Policy Project.
The Best Practices Policy Project is an organization dedicated to creating excellence amongst organizations and advocates working with sex workers in the United States. We produce materials for policy environments, address research and academic concerns and provide NGOs with technical assistance. Everything that we do is guided by principles that protect the rights of people who engage in commercial sex in all its forms.
How does this website help?
This website is a tool to help people who want to make the US a better place for sex workers. The resources on this site will help you organize and learn about key policy and legislative issues. Mainstream reporting on sex worker issues and policy can be difficult to interpret so we regularly update our media review page and provide news analysis from the BPPP perspective. We provide fact sheets on what constitutes best practices and provide practical guides on how to make your advocacy and organization more accountable to diverse communities of sex workers.
More about our history, constituents and how to get involved.
**New on the site** This year we had the opportunity to collaborate with organizations working with sex workers and related groups, such as BAYSWAN, Desiree Alliance, SWOP USA, St James Infirmary and many others, to produce a report to the United Nations about the state of sex workers' rights in the United States. The Best Practices Policy Project was one of only five human rights groups in the United States that was selected by the Sexual Rights Initiative submitting reports the United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights.
