The Syndicat du travail sexuel (STRASS) (Union of sexual work) is an association in France that defends the rights of sex workers, mainly prostitutes but also pornographic actors and phone sex operators.[2] The association was formed on 20 March 2009[3] during the assises de la prostitution, held at the Odéon-Théâtre de l'Europe, Paris.[4] It is operated as a self-managed syndicate.[3]
