12.30pm - 1.30pm
Please join Lara Murray, Sex Worker Services and Strategy Lead, Spectra
Spectra envisions a future where people from under-served and disadvantaged communities reach their full potential by being empowered, encouraged and supported to make positive, informed life-choices. Discrimination around gender, sexuality, trans status, health inequalities and related stigma has been eradicated and other barriers such as deprivation and racial inequality have been challenged and dismantled. Obstacles to accessing education, healthcare, and social welfare services have been removed and robust field-based evidence informs continuous improvement, service design and relevant public policy.
The aim of this session is to boost your confidence and knowledge. We'll cover:
✅ What sex work is
✅ Inclusive, non-stigmatising language
✅ Legal overview
✅ Stigma & its impact
✅ Sex workers’ health needs
✅ Barriers to accessing services
✅ How to support and signpost effectively
Let’s work together to make services safer and more accessible for sex workers
