    		• About SCOT-PEP

    SCOT-PEP was set up by and for sex workers and offers non-judgmental advice and support. Our aim is to promote health, dignity and human rights amongst those involved in the sex industry.

    promoting health & dignity ·
    fighting for social justice and inclusion

    SCOT-PEP is committed to ensuring that sex workers are treated with respect and their rights accepted within our society, in the same way others enjoy - and expect. We are also committed to combatting trafficking for the purposes of prostitution and the coercion of any human being into prostitution. We strive to protect those involved in both street and indoor prostitution by offering practical and emotional support and assistance. We seek to impact not only on sexual health and personal safety but also on well-being, personal development, and human and civil rights – thereby achieving social justice and inclusion for sex workers and the protection of those trafficked or coerced into prostitution.

    Our staff and volunteers will:

    NOT breach your confidentiality
    NOT make any moral judgement on your lifestyle
    NOT attempt to take control of your life
    NOT attempt to persuade you to leave prostitution but will provide support if you wish to do so
    provide you with accurate and up to date information and educational materials to enable you to make informed decisions about your options and choices
