CAP intl, SPACE intl, Mouvement du Nid and Osez le Féminisme ! organise in Paris a world première event dedicated to “#MeToo and prostitution”, where survivors of the sex trade will break the silence on the daily and inherent violence of the prostitution system.
The event will help to understand that prostitution is part of a continuum of sexual violence and abuse and cannot be dissociated from other forms of sexual abuses which are growingly being exposed and denounced in the context of #MeToo.
Together with Ashley Judd, co-host and keynote speaker of the event, the organizers will moderate an outstanding panel of speakers and will provide a space for new survivors to speak out for the first time.
