Life & Faith: Prostitution Narratives
Prostitution is a global industry that
generates more than $186 billion worldwide and has more than 13 million
“employees”. But these numbers tell you nothing about the people involved in the sex industry – the circumstances that led
them to a life of prostitution, the experiences they have in the industry, and
the struggle to leave.
A new book changes this. Prostitution Narratives shines a light
on the reality of the sex industry through the true stories of women who escaped
a life of prostitution.
But it’s done more than raise awareness of
the issues and trauma faced by these women. As survivors of the sex industry,
the book’s contributors have come to realise that they are part of a global
movement of women against prostitution.
“The personal has become political,”
Melinda Tankard Reist, one of the editors of the book and a long-time advocate
for women and girls, says. “They’ve found strength in turning something
devastating into something powerful.”
In this episode of Life & Faith,
Melinda talks about how vital it is to hear the voices of women from within the
sex industry, to understand that truth and reality of the work they do.
