St. James Infirmary

St. James Infirmary (SJI) offers free, confidential, nonjudgmental medical and social services for Sex Workers (current or former) of all genders and sexual orientations. We are the first occupational health and safety clinic in the U.S. run by Sex Workers for Sex Workers! St. James Infirmary works actively to combat racism, classism, misogyny, homo- and transphobia, ableism, and all other forms of oppression that lead to discrimination, stigma, and marginalization.

Philosophy:

There are many factors which affect the working conditions and experiences for all Sex Workers including the political and economic climate, poverty and homelessness, stigmatization, violence, as well as the overwhelming intricacies of the legal, public and social systems. It is the philosophy of The St. James Infirmary to build upon existing skills and strengths in order to allow individuals to determine their own goals while providing culturally competent and non-judgmental services.
