Service Workers In Group (SWING) 3.37

The Service Workers In Group (SWING) Foundation, a community-based Non Government organisation in Thailand, was formed in 2004 to address the issues associated with the rise of sexually transmitted infections (STI) and HIV/AIDS amongst male and transgender sex workers as well as other men who have sex with men (MSM). With funding from US AID and support from Family Health International, SWING began implementing comprehensive STI and HIV/AIDS prevention, care and support services for this community.

SWING has since expanded to provide education, health education and support, as well as activities and projects aimed at empowering male, female and transgender sex workers, and advocates for the improved quality of life for those working in the sex industry.

SWING has offices in three major tourist destinations across Thailand; Bangkok, Pattaya and Samui.

SWING is proud to support sex workers. Currently 80% of SWING staff have previously worked in the sex industry.

SWING also provides training for health officers and police cadets in Thailand.
