Former sex worker Catherine Healy was honored this week by Britain's Queen Elizabeth II for her work advocating for prostitutes. In an interview with The Associated Press, Healy described finding out about the award, her time working in the sex industry, and fighting for the rights of sex workers. I took on the job of a receptionist, and became a sex worker a couple of months later. ———ORGANIZING WORKERS: I remember seeing articles that had been written about sex workers, but there was no sex worker voice. Hopefully my award is useful for every sex worker.
