Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
This year I am running in the Hackney Half Marathon to raise vital funds for National Ugly Mugs (NUM), a pioneering, national organisation which provides greater access to justice and protection for sex workers who are often targeted by dangerous individuals but are frequently reluctant to report these incidents to the police due to stigma.
These offenders are often serial sexual predators who pose a huge risk to the public as a whole.
What NUM do:
- They take reports of incidents from sex workers and produce anonymised warnings which are sent directly to sex workers and front-line support projects throughout the UK.
- With consent, they share anonymous intelligence to the police.
- They support sex workers in making full reports to the police so that the perpetrators can be identified, arrested and convicted.
- They ensure sex workers have access to professional services when they have been a victim of crime.
Please help me raise funds for this vital, yet lesser known charity, who advocate for sex workers':
- right to self determination
- right to live free from violence
- right to live free from intimidation, coercion or exploitation
- right to work as safely as possible
- right to police protection
