The English Prostitutes Collective donated this badge to the Museum of London's Collecting 2000 project. The group, founded in 1982, wrote: 'We form a network of women, black, of colour and white, of different nationalities and backgrounds, working at various levels of the sex industry. We campaign for human, legal, economic and civil rights of prostitute women, and for higher welfare benefits, student grants, wages, housing and other resources, so that no woman is forced by poverty into sex with anyone.'
