The PIC provides information about sex work from the perspective of sex workers to anyone who is interested. We get sex workers, their clients, individual students and studentgroups, journalists and tourists in from all over the world.
The Prostitution Information Center (PIC) is a unique and friendly place where everyone can come in to ask questions, to look around, read books or simply enjoy a cup of coffee.

#Amsterdam municipal Council is listening to opinions about the #EroticCenter & closing of window brothels in the #RedLightDistrict. There was a closed (no media, photos, livestream) session where they posed their questions to sex workers yesterday.

Irish DOJ now 3.5 years late on its review of the 2017 sex work law, which increased rates of sexual violence & attacks on women.
The delay blatantly deprioritizes both sex workers *and* survivors of trafficking, because criminalization harms them both.

"I cannot express the marginalisation and the isolation they feel because they are forced to work alone."
We spoke to @thejournal_ie about the delay in the law review and what this means for sex workers who are forced to work alone to work legally.
