We also heard from Ntokozo Yingwana - Advocacy Officer for Sweat to tell us more about the Cape Town Sex Workers' Open University seminar on Sex Work and Feminism that’s currently underway. A Cape Town Sex Workers' Open University Seminar Sex Work and Feminism is hosted by Sweat questioning “Is there room for sex work in feminism and is there room for feminism in sex work? Can a sex worker call herself/himself a feminist? And what do feminists have to say about that? The seminar entailed feminists and sex workers unpacking these and more as the guest speakers included Dr Benita Moolman - a feminist Researcher, Writer and Activist of the Human Sciences Research Council, Shane Petzer - Sweat Co-founder, Oratile Moseki - Advocacy Manager, Kholi Buthelezi - Sex worker feminist, and Sisonke National Coordinator - Theresa Olesen who has a BSc in International Development Studies and Performance Design MA student from the Roskilde University Centre (Denmark).
