An industry standard refers to a set of criteria that defines the best practices, operations and expectations within a specific field. For sex workers, these standards should be established from within the industry, not imposed externally. As professionals, we possess the knowledge, skills and experience to shape the sex work industry, prioritizing health, safety and the well-being of those who work within it. By setting our own standards, we can also dispel myths, educate others,and promote a safer, more informed environment for both workers and clients.
