x:talk

Want to get involved?

The x:talk project is a sex worker-led workers co-operative - organised by a collective of sex workers, sex workers rights’, migrants’ rights, and feminist activists. The project is open for new people to get involved in - we have regular meetings, email discussion groups and are always looking for new ways to publicise the project.

xtalk (pronounced: cross talk)
verb: to discuss across a subject from multiple positions and perspectives

the xtalk website and blog explores the themes of sex, migration, gender and labour.

DONATE MONEY

We were able to establish the x:talk project with a small grant from the Feminist Review Trust. Even though much of the work of x:talk is co-ordinated on a volunteer basis, we are looking to raise further funds to ensure that the project is able to continue. All financial contribution are more than welcome - in fact they are needed.

  • ABOUT X:TALK

    The x:talk project is a space to organise and empower workers in the sex industry and to encourage critical interventions around the issues of MIGRATION, GENDER and LABOUR.

    The site is arranged around three themes: ANALYSIS - the x:talk blog, PEDAGOGY - free English Classes for migrant sex workers and PRAXIS - creating change and causing trouble.

    The project is a conscious effort to develop a practical and needed service and ultimately hopes to build political alliances and strengthen migrant sex worker networks.
