1-05. Supporting Trafficking Survivors & Sex Workers with Andrea Powell & SX Noir

Okay, this episode is one that Norma couldn’t wait for you to hear. She sits down with repeat guest SX Noir (who has a background in sex work decriminalization activism – listen to episode 1 for more) and Andrea Powell, founder and executive director of Karana Rising, which supports survivors of sex trafficking. This is a special conversation because it can be rare to get an anti-trafficking advocate and sex work activist in the same room, let alone find common ground as they do in this episode! Norma, Andrea, and SX Noir cover why this conversation is so divided, why movements must be survivor-led and -informed, exploitation of survivors, the circumstances for getting into the spectrum of the sex trade, the conflation of sex trafficking and sex work (and the harms of it), decriminalization (vs legalization) of sex work and the effects on trafficking survivors, and how we can build bridges to get back to why the hell we’re all doing this work.
