Feminist Fightback reading group: Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers’ Rights Sex Workers – Part 2
Join Feminist Fightback for our next reading group book: Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers’ Rights Sex Workers by Juno Mac and Molly Smith
Juno Mac and Molly Smith bring a fresh perspective to questions that have long been contentious. Speaking from a growing global sex worker rights movement, and situating their argument firmly within wider questions of migration, work, feminism, and resistance to white supremacy, they make it clear that anyone committed to working towards justice and freedom should be in support of the sex worker rights movement.
