It’s time for anti-trafficking activists to stop being silent on sex workers’ rights.
As part of our larger feature on 'fence-sitting' on sex work, we organised a live discussion between two migrant sex worker activists and the heads of two anti-trafficking organisations who recently chose to get off the fence and support decriminalisation and sex workers' rights. In a wide-ranging conversation they ask why the trafficking sector is letting sex workers down and how things could be done differently.
The Panelists:
Joanna Ewart-James: Executive Director, Freedom United
Jean Bruggeman: Executive Director, Freedom Network USA
Amina du Jean
Charlotte Lee: Spokesperson, English Collective of Prostitutes
Emily Kenway: Impact Editor, Beyond Trafficking and Slavery (Chair)
