It campaigns for the decriminalisation of prostitution, and to have sex work acknowledged as viable labour. In 2002, members voted to affiliate with the GMB, a general workers union. The union now has official recognition as the sex industry branch of the GMB.[1] Some of the services offered by the union include: self-defence classes, free legal advice and training for members who wish to leave the sex industry. The union was formed in 2000 partly as a response to actions taken by Westminster City Council in London to try and remove prostitutes from the area. The International Union of Sex Workers supports the x:talk Project, which provides free English language classes to migrant sex workers in London. They are a member of Backlash, a pressure group formed in 2005 in order to oppose a new law criminalising possession of "extreme pornography". See also{{Portal|Organised labour}}
