As part of our larger feature on 'fence-sitting' on sex work, we organised a live discussion between two migrant sex worker activists and the heads of two anti-trafficking organisations who recently chose to get off the fence and support decriminalisation and sex workers' rights. In a wide-ranging conversation they ask why the trafficking sector is letting sex workers down and how things could be done differently.
