Debunking "Sex Work": Conversations about prostitution

Role of the buyer: Rachel Moran and Melissa Farley


Listen Later

Rachel Moran is an Irish survivor of prostitution and abolitionist activist. In this episode she and psychologist and radical feminist Melissa Farley discuss the role of the buyer within prostitution and what his money really buys.

The focus of the episode stands in the switch of perspective we should have when we talk about prostitution. We often talk about the woman who is bought or sold, when really we should be focusing on the people who have the choice of selling and buying women's bodies: pimps and sex buyers.
