Survivor-Led Sex Trade Abolition Podcast Start-Up

Who we are

We're an international group of passionate sex-trade abolitionists, many of us survivors of prostitution, porn and sex trafficking. Sex industry critical voices are often ignored and silenced, with many governments and non-profits adopting the sex-work-is-work position, resulting in much of the harm and fallacies remaining unaddressed. Therefore we feel it's important to speak with a united voice to challenge the institutionalization of commercial sexual exploitation.
