Sexpectations: Redefining Consent, Work And Rights

As part of our Sexpectations season, we host former sex worker and campaigner Elizabeth G. alongside representatives from the East London Stripper Collective to discuss sex work in the UK and the fight for the rights of those involved.

Elizabeth is a British author and podcaster, campaigning for equality for sex workers. She is currently working to expand the scope of The Equality Act 2010 to include the sex industry, protecting those within it from discrimination. Her candid memoir, Unashamed: Why Do People Pay for Sex?, is available on the night. The book is a no-holds-barred, taboo-busting account of life as a sex worker and what it’s like to build a successful career in a multimillion-pound industry that exists largely in the shadows.

Stacey Clare, a stripper, writer, activist, theatre performer, and co-founder of the East London Stripper Collective, is the resident “Gobbess” of the collective. She campaigns for sex workers’ rights, gives public talks, and writes articles, including for her book The Ethical Stripper. As one half of the sell-out Edinburgh Fringe show Ask A Stripper, Stacey travels across the country campaigning for strippers’ employment rights, making media appearances such as Good Morning Britain and a TedX Talk.

Presented by Conway Hall.
