Briefing Paper Launch: Sex Work and Racism

Briefing Paper Launch: Sex Work and Racism

PUBLIC EVENT

We invite you to the launch of the first in a series of Briefing Papers dedicated to analysing the impact of racism on different aspects of sex workers' lives in Europe.

In this first paper, we focus on assessing the racist and colonial origins that underpin current anti-immigration, anti-sex work and anti-trafficking laws.

The online presentation will take place on Wednesday 13 April at 5pm (CET).
