The Sex Worker Open University (SWOU) was founded in 2009 to provide educational and other resources to sex workers in the United Kingdom. It is a sex worker-led organisation. Their activities include educational projects, breakfast drop-ins for sex workers, and Glasgow's sex worker support effort Confide. In April 2013, SWOU took a lead role in halting the further criminalization of sex work in Scotland by organizing a massive grassroots community response, included street protests, public education, sex worker-only workshops on safety, the law, and fighting stigma, and the presentation to packed audiences of evidence as to the effects of criminalization, from sex workers and academics from around the world.
