The Sex Workers Outreach Project – USA is joining with the Woodhull Freedom Foundation to coordinate an entire track of panels, presentation and workshops about sex worker rights at this year’s Sexual Freedom Summit. We invite sex workers, activists and experts to submit abstracts for the upcoming conference, and help us create two days of knowledge, skill sharing and community building. If your proposal is accepted, in recognition of your time and expertise, we are happy to offer you a fully-paid registration (a $230 value).
The conference is a two-day summit which brings together activists, academics and individuals from many of the different areas touched by sexual freedom. This year’s other tracks include Pleasure, Skill-Sharing, Issues facing TGNC peoples, and making sexual freedom more accessible.
