Service Workers in Group Foundation (SWING) was formed in 2004 and works with sex workers of all genders, cultures and nationalities. Former/current sex workers make up over 80% of its staff, who reaches out to highly marginalized members of the community, including HIV+ sex workers, migrant sex workers, those who lack access to stable accommodation, and those who use currently illicit drugs. SWING now operates four drop-in centres across three regions in Thailand: one in Koh Samui and one in Pattaya, as well as two in Bangkok, where sex workers can stop by for conversation, to eat, use the Internet, prepare for work, and take part in HIV-related awareness games, group activities, as well as sessions on understanding human rights. Staff would provide condoms and lubricant to anyone who visits the center. Voluntary and confidential counselling and testing services for HIV (VCT) are also available at the Pattaya center.
