Coalition of the Determined
Manage episode 508231660 series 2872379
In this episode, we learn about the UN and the way the US forced representatives from different countries and organizations to talk to one another. We learn how global human rights is interconnected and how this coalition of SW’s keep doing their work despite having to work around new rules and a constant changing landscape, but one that is mostly pushing back against Trans people and SW’s. The discussion highlights the urgent need for activism within the sex worker community, focusing on human rights and the impact of US policies internationally.
