Ana Lopes works as a sex phone-line operator and glamour model as well as doing a PhD in human sexuality.
She is one of the founders and General Secretary of, the recently created "International Union of Sex Workers", the IUSW. This arose as a response by a coalition of people within the sex industry to Westminster Council's campaign of eviction of prostitutes. The method of protest adopted was a joyful carnival through the streets of Soho in which Ana was able to make use of her talents as a samba dancer.
The IUSW has gone on to work for the rights and social acceptance of all kinds of sex worker and publishes a bulletin - "RESPECT!" - which Ana edits.
The IUSW has forged links with many other groups around the world and she contributes articles and talks to a wide variety of interested parties.
Ana continues to organise exciting social events and meetings which raise funds and awareness for sex work issues as well as help break down the isolation that many sex workers experience.
