Sex Work and Police Abuses of Power
7 October 2021

In light of the recent sentencing regarding Metropolitan Police Officer Couzens for the murder of Sarah Everard, and the surrounding horrific activities of his network of fellow officers, we are encouraging sex workers to come forward if they have experienced any harm at the hands of Couzens or other serving members of the police.

Investment in Sex Worker-led Change

We are happy to announce that NUM has received generous investment from the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust to further enhance our reporting mechanism and develop clearer pathways for reporting harm perpetrated by those in the public trust.

We look forward to working with sex workers of colour and others in improving our reporting mechanism, evaluating and establishing safe access to complaints processes, and leading evidence-informed advocacy in this area.
