Harm Reduction
Harm Reduction is the model through which a lot of advocacy around sex work is done.
HIPS, for instance, describes their work as "rooted in harm reduction philosophy, non judgmental and client centered". In addition to other services, they do street-based condom distribution and counseling. Their mission statement goes on to say that they provide "harm reduction services, advocacy, and community engagement that is respectful, non-judgmental, and affirms and honors individual power and agency".

Harm reduction non-judgmentally accepts sex work, and focuses on the agency and well-being of those involved in the industry. Especially as long as sex work is illegal and stigmatized, harm reduction services for workers will be necessary.
