Lighthouse Learning Series: Sex Work 101
Starting in October 2023 and running until February 2024, we will be covering a series of queer harm reduction topics with the goal of creating a more inclusive movement.
Priority is given to those living and working in New York due to program scope. However, the series will be held virtually and is open to all those who would like to build on their harm reduction knowledge to provide better services to LGB/TGNC+ folks!
Session description: This session will provide an overview of sex work and harm reduction. We will discuss different types of sex work and the different challenges (systemic, legal, etc.), ways to respectfully engage sex workers (especially trans, BIPOC, unhoused, street-based), and resources. There will be time for Q&A at the end.
Facilitator bio: Celestina Pearl is a queer Femme Dyke, mixed Race Chicana, visual and performance artist, filmmaker, radical nurse, mama to a fierce trans teen, kitty lover and sex worker advocate.
