“Veteran sex worker and sex worker rights activist Andre Shakti will facilitate a frank conversation and action points around the consent politics of the sex industry appropriate for all.

This includes —

How sex workers must create their own unique consent models to utilize throughout their work

Why it’s so difficult to imagine a sex worker having their consent violated

Breaking down “whorephobia” - how society has sold us a false narrative re: what sex workers do and don’t deserve

How keeping sex workers oppressed, disenfranchised and criminalized has fed this narrative of inherent illegitimacy culture

How sex workers have been left to survive on a system of community inter-reliance instead of being able to depend on the same consent violation support systems others have access to

How to validate and respect boundaries while also allowing for an authentic, mutually enjoyable experience when visiting sex workers

How to hold space for sex workers who are present to share their consent violation stories
