About this work

Description

"Izwi Lethu is Zulu for "our voice". More than thirty sex worker reporters brought their unique voices to shape the Izwi Lethu newsletter in its first year. Featured writers chose to write on a vast array of topics, taking the reader from a courtroom in Botswana to online adult chat rooms. While the challenges faced by sex workers are well documented, their voices are often absent in public discussions of sex work, academic representations of sex work, and media reporting on sex work. This participatory arts-based project seeks to highlight sex worker stories in sex worker's own words. Built on previous partnerships between the African Centre for Migration & Society (ACMS) and Sisonke Sex Worker Movement, this project aims to link research to issues of social justice and advocacy."-- Provided by publisher.
