Julie Bindel’s latest book, The Pimping of Prostitution, tackles the debate on prostitution legislation head-on, exposing the lived realities of women in contrast with the ‘sex workers’ rights’ movement, and shows how the ‘happy hooker’ narrative has come to shape the arguments around prostitution.

She will be discussing the global sex trade and the emergence of the survivor abolitionist movement with writer Sarah Ditum.
