About Ugly Mugs Ireland

Ugly Mugs Ireland is a volunteer-run not-for-profit technology initiative. We improve the safety of sex workers and reduce crime, by bringing sex workers together to share information with each other about potential dangers. We support human rights for sex workers, including the right to safety. We are against trafficking, exploitation and all forms of abuse and harm to people in sex work. Our safety scheme is available to sex workers all across Ireland. We also work with support organisations and police in Northern Ireland to improve access to justice for sex workers.

Northern Ireland

Whilst we welcome members from across all of Ireland, we are based in UK jurisdiction and can only connect you with sex worker friendly police and support services in Northern Ireland. If you are looking to connect with sex worker friendly supports in the Republic of Ireland, we recommend visiting the website of the Sex Workers Alliance Ireland (SWAI).

We are working together to try to bring an end to the "NWL" / "Escort Ireland Watch" abuse that is is impacting sex workers across Ireland. Please see our alert yesterday - https://uglymugs.ie/2024/10/18/alert-stalking-of-sex-workers/ - and know that our top priority is bringing this campaign that is stalking, harassing, threatening and inciting violence against sex workers to an end.
