On 18 May 2021 I presented some of the academic work I’ve done on #sexwork and #migration at this #CharlotteMaxeke webinar hosted by The Book Stokvel: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89857362893…. Even though I was officially representing the African Centre for Migration & Society, Wits University as a doctoral student, I also drew from my experiences of working with the Sex Workers Education and Advocacy Taskforce and the national movement of Sisonke as a sex worker rights’ activist.
You can catch my presentation from 4:08mins into the video.
Charlotte Maxeke Webinar: Women and The Workplace: Risks, Challenges and OpportunitiesThe year 2021 marks 150 years of the life of Charlotte Maxeke. Her life, through her work, epitomizes women’s struggles against deprivation of basic human rights such as dignity, happiness, education, employment opportunities, and property ownership. These struggles continue to shape the discourse of the struggle for liberation in South Africa, even long after her death. Join us in commemorating Charlotte Maxeke as we reflect on the impact of the work she did during her years of political activism, and how it remains relevant in modern society.
