WE CAN ACCEPT EACH OTHER AS WE ARE
The mission of the Sexpower foundation is to bring people closer together by pointing out their similarities instead of the differences. Empowerment and self-acceptance should be achievable for everyone. Unfortunately, this is not always as obvious as it should be. Often people are afraid of what they don’t know. This regularly creates an “us” against “them” feeling. This is certainly the case with regard to sexual preferences and orientation.
Our mission is to connect people by providing information, sharing knowledge and organizing and / or supporting events. The goal is to show people that we can accept each other as we are, even when we sometimes have a different experience, belief or vision. At the Sexpower foundation we like to focus on sexual stigmas. It is difficult to talk about this and we think there is a lot of room for improvement here. Happy people are better for each other!

OUR PROJECTS
What are we doing at the moment?
Our first project: non-profit brothels
We are currently getting a lot of interest from various cities in the Netherlands to set up non-profit brothels with safe workplaces according to the Sexpower Foundation guidelines.
The Sexpower Foundation has been working in secret, but over a year ago we signed a declaration of participation for the tender procedure for the Zandpad in Utrecht. Do you want to know more? Check out our blog.
Sex work is work too!

Corona crisis reveals weaknesses in the position of sex workers
When contact professions were banned because of corona this spring, this also applied to sex workers. The Verwey-Jonker Institute investigated what this meant for the situation of sex workers in the Hart van Brabant region. How can municipalities better support sex workers in the event of another ban, and what can we learn from this corona crisis about the position of sex workers in the long term?
Prostitution ban?
I am dumbfounded. Paid sex is outdated, says the CDA. The party thinks it should be banned.
