The IPPF Sex Work Policy makes clear the position and commitments of our Federation globally with regards to sex work.

This is the first time IPPF has taken a position on sex work, and presents human rights-based values and principles which apply broadly to all contexts, without being prescriptive about approaches or actions.

It is rooted in positions taken by sex-worker led organisations and networks across the world, and in existing IPPF documents.

In line with IPPF’s global policy position, IPPF European Network is opposed to any measures in EU policy or legislative instruments that would criminalise any aspect of sex work, including clients and third parties.
