FREE EVENT
⌚︎ 90min
Featuring: UTSOPI, Andreïta, Neïmara Felix Cannella, Tanya Fileva, Miguel Soll et Chloé Rouxeville
The round table will be presented in French.
While the stigma surrounding sex work keeps the vast majority of those who engage in it in clandestine lifestyles, the intersection with other factors of vulnerability can lead to dramatic situations. Migrant sex workers without administrative recognition are among the most exposed groups to exploitative conditions. Therefore, bringing to public attention the complexities of migration journeys without objectifying those who experience them cannot be done without the active participation of those concerned.
This roundtable will discuss 2 film projects developed on this issue. UTSOPI will present its videos to raise awareness about the various aspects of exploitation, especially for people on the move. These videos are co-written with sex workers affected by these situations. Tanya Fileva will present her first film, Tamara's Salvation, inspired by her experience in a Bulgarian human trafficking network. She will explain how she was able to set up this project, and the political issues that drive it.
