ready • inspire • act, A Community Dialogue

You're invited to this free event! 

 

Join us for RIAs first virtual community dialogue! The RIA team is excited to host a six-part series for anyone curious about learning the nuances of the sex trade. We invite everyone to this conversation, folks of all different backgrounds please join the call. Whether you're pro-sex work or you believe that nothing about the sex trade is work or you're just learning for the first time. All is welcome and your engagement is invaluable. Come share, come learn, we want to hear from you. Register today.

 

AND because....

 

Sex trafficking is a trending topic with high profile cases and powerful people at the center of it. Every day and everywhere, people are being bought and sold for sex, and rarely does it ever make the news.

The scale of the sex trade industry is massive. There’s so much jargon, that it can be confusing and hard to make sense of it all. It involves key players: they are the buyers, the facilitators, and the people who are being bought and sold for sex.

 

Register today for one or all six dialogues as we dive in on our first virtual call to explore the grand scale of the sex trade industry and its key players.

 

Is this about power? And whose?

Is this about consent? And of what?

Is this about choice? And what choices?

When does it matter to you?

 

 

Disclaimer:

Please note that this dialogue is about community and for those who want to learn. This is a safe space for an open discussion that is honest and nonjudgemental. We welcome all perspectives, experiences, educational and cultural backgrounds. 

 

By registering you are agreeing that you are 18 years old or older. All dialogues will contain mature content related to sexual violence (children and adults). We ask that attendees please take care of themselves during the community dialogue(s).

 

 

 

RIAs work is made possible through public and private grants and from generous individuals who believe that healing is a community effort. We hope you'll share our mission with those who need support. Visit our website at www.readyinspireact.org to learn more!
