This workshop provides a basic overview of the services that the Sex Worker Outreach Project provides, examines cultural biases about sex workers, and considers effective service provision techniques for working with sex workers. Concepts around what is sex work, who does sex work, and why are explored and contextualized socially with an emphasis on debunking myths and stigma around work/workers and breaking down the difference between consensual work and trafficked work. Participants will increase their skills and abilities delivering services effectively to sex worker populations and intersectionally linked groups such as pocâs, lgbtq, women, and financially marginalized populations.
