What Feminists Get Wrong About Sex Work

Feminists get a lot wrong about sex work (and I’m absolutely including myself in this) - so I wanted to make a video about how feminists often focus on what sex work means for US rather than the experiences of actual sex workers and why we shouldn’t do that. We're going to look at the many traps feminists can fall into when talking about sex work, why UK sex workers want sex work to be decriminalised, and what we can actually do to support sex workers and their rights!!
