An ugly mug is any client you want to warn sex workers about.
It may be clients who:
push sex workers to do things against their will
are verbally abusive or threatening
refuse to pay and/or steal from a sex worker
try to take the condom off or refuse to wear a condom
stalk a sex worker
assault—physically or sexually.
Sex workers have a right to earn a living and be safe while working.
By making a report to SWOP you can help us monitor and map violence against sex workers. We use this information to develop safety strategies and advocate for change. Parts of the report are provided to other sex workers to help make our community safer.
To submit an ugly mug report to SWOP, fill in the form below. Every detail helps.
