This week the girls debate whether Black women’s consensual participation in the sex industry only works to reinforce the harmful tropes that over-sexualise us. From escorting, OnlyFans and stripping to the underground world of sex tourism and trafficking. We ask does Black women’s sexual empowerment in the West inadvertently cause hinderance to our sisters in the Global South, whose experiences of the sex industry are often violent and exploitative? If this is a man's world and we're just living in it, can women really gain empowerment by reclaiming their sexuality?
