According to its agenda, the Association for the Protection of the Interests of Sex Workers considers it important to forge partnerships both in Hungary and abroad in order to effectively represent the interests of sex workers, including Roma people, members of the LGBTQ community, single mothers and other vulnerable groups. The association believes that sex workers should be conferred a legal status, that is,  prostitution should be legalised in order to assert the rights of sex workers. With this step, they want to remove what they see as obstacles to "health and social care" for sex workers in Hungary.
