Francine Tremblay, "Organizing for Sex Workers’ Rights in Montréal: Resistance and Advocacy" (Lexington Books, 2020)
Manage episode 294123282 series 2480300
Francine Tremblay's book Organizing for Sex Workers’ Rights in Montréal: Resistance and Advocacy (Lexington Books, 2020) is based on a case study about Stella, l’amie de Maimie a Montréal sex workers' rights organization, founded by and for sex workers. It explores how a group of ostracized female-identified sex workers transformed themselves into a collective to promote the health and well-being of women working in the sex industry. Weighed down by the old and tenacious whore symbol, the sex workers at Stella had to find a way to navigate the criminality of sex work and sex workers, in order to do advocacy and support work, and create safer spaces for sex workers to engage in such advocacy. This book focuses on sex workers, but the advocacy challenges and strategies it outlines can also apply to the lives of other marginalized groups who are often ignored, pitied, or reviled, but who are seldom seen as fully human.
Listeners may also be interested in this article by Tromblay and a report for The Doctors of The World.
Rachel Stuart is a sex work researcher whose primary interest is the lived experiences of sex workers.
