This is an organization that supervises, um, you know. Working girls. Ladies of the night. Women of negotiable affection. Those in the oldest profession. Those who turn tricks for goods and/or money. They who walk certain streets. Soiled Doves. Women who follow camps. Girls who are on call. Courtesans. In groups: Tray of Tarts, a Blazon of Strumpets, an Anthology of Pros. note You mean prostitutes? There are some particular benefits of unionisation in the World's Oldest Profession; they might provide daycare for a young Son of a Whore, or security against unruly customers (they might even train the former to provide the latter). Certainly a Weird Trade Union. Sometimes the Hooker with a Heart of Gold will be a member; there's sure to be at least one Miss Kitty, possibly running the whole thing. Often goes with Unproblematic Prostitution (with implications or outright statements that they're the people who keep it Unproblematic), but not always. Truth in Television as there are many organizations worldwide representing the interests and rights of sex workers, though they usually aren't seamstresses. |

The Old World of Darkness game Werewolf: The Apocalypse has the Aethera Inamorata, a faction within the Children of Gaia tribe composed of sexual healers. They're all about the spirituality of sex and maintains the tribe's close ties to the Cult of Ecstasy tradition of Mages. They were originally known as "Houris" and/or "The Hours," and claim that agents of the game's Eldritch Abomination mutated that name into "whore" and turned sex into something seen as dirty and shameful by society. | |

The city of Camorr in the Gentleman Bastard series by Scott Lynch had two such organizations amicably dividing work in the city between them. After a very bloody gang war, the monopoly was established, and all such services were run through the two guilds, with any competition swiftly crushed. Even when Magnificent Bastard Capa Vencarlo Barsavi murdered dozens of rivals to become sole ruler of the city's underworld, he dared not make an enemy of the brothels. Instead he offered them a partnership, leaving them otherwise independent in exchange for a tithe similar to that payed by the other gangs of the city. A tithe at a significantly lower percentage than that paid by any other gang in the city, of course. | |

Interspecies Reviewers: The band of brothels is managed by the government. Cute Monster Girl prostitution is a fact of life, and the elected government regulates the industry, providing financial support to ensure the working conditions of welfare of the girls - and presumably to get some of the coin adventurers keep spending there via taxation. | |

The entire premise of Harlots. In 1760s London, women's opportunities for economic advancement are either through marriage or sex work. The city's brothels are run by canny and determined businesswomen, such as Margaret Wells and Lydia Quigley, but there is a new morality on the rise. Religious evangelists demand the closure of brothels, and police are happy to launch brutal raids | |

Kushiel's Legacy by Jacqueline Carey: Prostitution is a sacred profession; there is no shame in it whatsoever, and the prostitutes (male and female) are all erudite and intelligent. The Court of Night Blooming Flowers is the collective for the oldest and most prestigious brothels in the capital. There is a larger guild as well that provides assistance and sets regulations for the less prestigious establishments and independents. There is a system of houses, each named after a flower and specializing in an...aspect of sexuality (though, in this world, alternative couples are common); for example, Valerian specializes in prostitutes who like pain, to put it delicately, and Cereus house is famed for its particularly erudite (verbally and sexually) servants. | |

In Discworld, there's the Seamstresses' Guild. "Hem Hem." Let's just say that they don't sew a lot. There's a British English expression: "plain sewing" which refers to a sexual service... arguably, a form of massage. Seattle in the 1800s used the same term. Their motto was "A stitch in time will cost you a dime. All night alterations for a dollar." By the later books, there is in fact a non-negligible degree of sewing going on. This is because enough people didn't realize that seamstresses was a euphemism, so the Guild hired a number of non-euphemistic seamstresses to cover that sort of need, as well (it helped that non-euphemistic seamstresses are one of the few groups in the city not to have a guild). As to the more protective aspects of these sorts of guilds, the Seamstresses themselves don't need to do much, because they have Dotsie and Sadie, the Agony Aunts, on their side to brutalize anyone that tries anything funny; not even the most hardened criminals want a visit from them. | |

Meanwhile a colony world of the Barrayaran Empire has SWORD, the Sex Workers Rights and Dignity Association. Notably it was created by the colony's governor, in order to reign in the abuse and exploitation of prostitutes around the local military base. |

The prostitutes of Old Town in Sin City. They have struck a deal with the cops to keep the police out of their section of the city (the police receive free services from the prostitutes, a cut of the profits, and receive a guarantee of no-harm while in Old Town) and this leaves the girls free to keep the pimps and mobs out themselves. Old Town is in essence its own little self-governing city, with a leadership and armed enforcers to make sure their women are treated properly by their clients. | |

Casca from Berserk was taken in the protection of a band of prostitutes in a refugee camp when she wandered away from the protection of the elf cave that Guts left her in. So protective are they of the wayward, insane girl that they bandaged Casca up as a syphilis victim in order to keep the lecherous eyes of men off of her, as they did not force her into prostitution due to her condition. The girls are led by Luca, one of the few genuinely nice characters in the Berserkverse, who acts much more like a mother figure rather than a madame, splitting her shares evenly among the other girls and coming to their aid in the most dangerous of situations. | |

The Forgotten Realms setting of Dungeons & Dragons has an unconventional take on this: the church of Sharess is mostly composed of prostitutes of all ends of the spectrum, including males, and while Sharess is only a demipower, the church has powerful allies and more influence in certain quarters than one would expect.

The US version of Shameless (US), offers a kind of deconstruction of this idea when Mickey tries to intervene in the plight of local prostitutes by organizing a "strike." The madam of the brothel responds by simply smuggling in more Russian immigrants to replace the old ones. The lesson being that there will always be women in desperate situations who’re willing to trade sex for a better life, and people who’re more than willing to take advantage of that. | |

The comedy film Night Shift deals with this as its subject matter. The protagonists are two men who work the night shift at the city morgue. They decide to become pimps but they dial it up to eleven with the execution. They unionize their girls, give them most of the money they earn (as opposed to their previous pimps who got the larger share), give them health benefits and even invest some of their money in legitimate businesses making them the richest and healthiest working girls in New York. | |

The Guild of Companions in Firefly, although Companions are more like Ancient Greek Hetairai, or a cross between prostitutes, geishas, therapists, and confessors (hetaira itself means "companion" in Greek, so possible Shout-Out). Also, in the episode "Heart of Gold", the occupants of a local brothel are all willing to fight and die to protect the baby of one of their own. Well, almost all. The brothel's owner is herself a former Companion who wanted to improve common prostitutes' lives by better treatment. |

Captain French, or the Quest for Paradise: crosses with School of Seduction with the Order of Carnal Pleasures on the planet Dolores Rose. The ladies of the Order are unionized and are trained in many arts besides lovemaking. They have also installed "happiness meters" in every bed of their Happy Houses to properly charge clients for the amount of pleasure received (above the minimum, of course). Also, the word "prostitute" is frowned upon on the planet. | |

The Mox in Cyberpunk 2077 are an entire gang of armed sex workers and sexual minorities. They started out as a Vigilante Militia, which rose up in retaliation against the murder of "one girl too many". Unlike most of the other gangs of Night City, they have no interest in gaining territory, focusing instead on running their club and protecting their own. | |
