Survivor-Led Sex Trade Abolition Podcast Start-Up

Who we are
We're an international group of passionate sex-trade abolitionists, many of us survivors of prostitution, porn and sex trafficking. Sex industry critical voices are often ignored and silenced, with many governments and non-profits adopting the sex-work-is-work position, resulting in much of the harm and fallacies remaining unaddressed. Therefore we feel it's important to speak with a united voice to challenge the institutionalization of commercial sexual exploitation.

The goal
As we are independent of any organization, we are looking to cover our start-up costs with a minimum of $5,000 to finance:
- Quality microphones for all hosts
- Podcasting software subscription
- Website (creation, domain & hosting)
- Honorariums for survivor guests
- Cost of external editing
- Logo/Branding
Our hopeful launch date is spring/summer 2024.
We appreciate any and all support!
