MISSION: A portal for sex workers of Asian descent to express the truth of their own lives, to build online community and comraderie across global regions, to educate those that think they know the truth, to dispel the dominant trafficking hysteria myths about the Asian victim. This is a social justice organizing tool and therefore follows the same mission of an anti-oppression framework that best attempts to embrace workers who are transgender, bisexual, gay and lesbian identified, people who do and do not identify with the word sex work or sex worker; youth, drug users and those that have survived trafficking, force, fraud or coercion in their work. This site hopes to capture the realistic myriad of experiences that we, asian sex workers represent in all its imperfection and beauty in our fight for livelihood.
