Photographer Mathilde Bouvard, 24, was funded by the EU to take portraits of sex workers around Europe and record their testimonies. An exhibition of her work, organised by the Sex Worker Open University – as part of a week-long programme of events and workshops, opened at the London Action Resource Centre in east London. Bouvard’s images aim to ‘normalise’ and ‘humanise’ sex workers by portraying them in a variety of everyday circumstances
