About these podcasts
One important aspect of the Sex Workers Project mission is advocating for sex workers' rights. Learning about the lives and needs of sex workers directly from sex workers is integral to our mission, in order to tailor our work to their needs. We meet sex workers through outreach on the street and in other venues. We invite you to listen and follow along via transcripts of street-based sex worker interviews conducted in 2007. You will hear from some of the people who have directly informed our work, as they talk about the issues that affect their lives, including violence, the police, employment opportunities and heath issues.
