This is a summary of the recommendations made in TAMPEP's European Mapping Survey, available elsewhere in the NSWP resource documents.

This is a summary of actions in the TAMPEP 8 project, including the European Mapping Survey, juricial & policy assessments, and the creation & production of the documents Work Safe in Sex Work, Sex Work Migration Health, Sex Work in Europe, and the Services 4 Sex Workers online resource listing.

The aim of this European report is to provide transparency about the legislation on sex work throughout Europe and its impact on the human rights of sex workers, including their access to public health services. The report assesses legislation and policy developments on sex work, migration and health policies on a national and European level and includes a critical evaluation of the various approaches relating to the interrelated issues of sex work, migration and health.

The manual WORK SAFE IN SEX WORK (WSSW) has three main objectives: 1. To present examples of good practice for health and social service providers offering care for migrant and mobile sex workers working in both indoor and outdoor settings. 2. To present examples of different experiences of HIV/STI prevention strategies, as well as introducing and facilitating implementation of innovative tools for specific outreach methodology, peer education, campaigns for clients and advocacy campaigns. 3. To increase and expand good practice actions targeting sex worker and their clients.

This European Mapping Report is one of the products of the TAMPEP 8 project. Sixteen years’ experience of working with sex workers across Europe and the development of a network of sex work projects currently covering 25 countries in Europe have resulted in TAMPEP establishing an extensive experience and knowledge base. Regular mapping of sex work in Europe has enabled the monitoring and reporting of changing trends within the sex industry and the living and working conditions of sex workers. Annexes to this report are separate documents within the NSWP resource listing.
