Listen To Migrant Sex Workers w/ Chanelle Gallant & Elene Lam
The Party Girls are Joined by sex workers' rights advocates Elene Lam and Chanelle Gallant to discuss their book “Not Your Rescue Project: Migrant Sex Workers Fighting for Justice” out now with Haymarket Books. In this episode, Jamie and Sam explore the ways in which migrant sex workers have pushed back against state repression and how their stories, expertise and forms of life can be a beacon that lights the way for all of us as we seek to undermine the state’s capacity to surveil our movements.
Elene Lam is the founder of Butterfly, a support network for Asian and migrant sex workers.
