SEX TRAFFIC at London’s ICA - Institute of Contemporary Arts
http://www.ica.org.uk/Sex%20Traffic+19176.twl
11 March 2009 - 1900 / 7pm
The media and NGOs have raised awareness of sex trafficking in recent
years, but does it serve the interests of migrant sex workers to suggest
they have been trafficked, or does it collude in their criminalisation and
deportation? Should our priority be to give migrant women in the sex
industry more control over their own lives, or to stop the traffic?
Speakers: Laura María Agustín, author of Sex at the Margins and a former
educator working with expatriate sex workers; Georgina Perry, service
manager for Open Doors, an NHS initiative which deliver outreach and
clinical support to sex workers in east London; Catherine Stephens, sex
worker; Jon Birch, inspector, Metropolitan Police Clubs and Vice Unit.
Chair: Libby Brooks, deputy Comment editor, The Guardian.
