  • 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.
