Sex Work, Healing Justice & Collective Action

It’s the final episode of Season 2! We end this season with an incredible conversation with Black Venus (she/her) who is a sex worker, performer, facilitator and founder of Sex and Rage, a sex worker led organisation that resists stigma and shame through sex education. We talk about how how self defence and martial arts can be used as a tool for healing and community building, the misconceptions surrounding sex work and why the Nordic model of sex work doesn’t work.We also give a roundup of the latest sexual health news including OnlyFans making a U-turn of their decision to ban sexually explicit content, Texas abortion law, why the false claims around COVID-19 vaccine and fertility are so powerful and frozen eggs and sperm storage limit being increased to 55 years.Links to what we discuss can be found via the full references on our website.What do you think of the podcast?
