Destigmatizing Sex Work with Yin Q

Published: May 1, 2024, 9 a.m.

Asian massage workers and sex workers have long been the targets of violence in America \u2013 but their stories often get pushed to the margins. This week, as AAPI Heritage Month begins, we\u2019re pulling those stories to the center. Yin Q \u2013 one of the core organizers of Red Canary Song, a collective organizing with and for Asian and migrant sex workers \u2013 joins the show to share some of the stories of their community, break down the history of violence against Asian sex and massage workers, and sketch out what a future where sex work is decriminalized would look like.
