For too long the global sex industry and its vested interests have dominated the prostitution debate repeating the same old line that 'sex work' is just like any job. In large sections of the media, academia, public policy, government and the law, the sex industry has had its way.

Prostitution Narratives: Stories of Survival in the Sex Trade refutes the lies and debunks the myths spread by the industry through the lived experiences of women who have survived prostitution.
