All of March Express Woman shared stories from some of the sex workers who have formed the Caribbean Sex Worker Coalition (CSWC). The accounts of two female, two transgender, and two male sex workers (one gay, the other
heterosexual) gave insight into the realities of Caribbean socio-economics, sexuality and gender relations that led them to sell sex. They've also opened the dialogue on the health and human rights issues affecting sex workers including minors in sex work, safe sex negotiation, violence, sexual diversity, and harassment and apathy by the police. Today we speak with Kamala Kempadoo. The social science professor at York University is of Guyanese descent and has made a study of the global sex workers' movement.
