In 2008, Naomi, Melissa, Robyn, and Sadie began working on RenegadeCast together. This episode is the first from that collaboration, recorded at the International AIDS Conference in Mexico City. Robyn and Melissa talk about what it was like to meet sex worker activists from around the world, what we’ve learned from advocacy groups in Latin America and Asia, and how to make change with sex workers in the United States.
Here’s the links for the groups and videos we talked about:
About the anti-prostitution pledge
Asia Pacific Network of Sex Workers
APROASE
Sex Workers’ Outreach Project-USA
SWOP-EAST’s “Pledging Action” condom program
Davida, the Brazilian prostitutes’ organization, created a fashion line, called Daspu
Sex workers on the O’Reilly Factor discussing decriminalization of prostitution in San Francisco
