Come and join us for an evening of exploration of the health needs of sex workers. This is a series of 20 minute talks from the following speakers:

We are fundraising for the Red Umbrella Project who support people involved in sex work, selling sex and/or experiencing sexual exploitation to combat instances of violence and crimes against them and bring perpetrators to justice.
