Many women who have experienced prostitution talk about the mental, physical and psychological trauma involved. In this webinar, we will be exploring this in more depth.
Featuring Dr Ingeborg Kraus, clinical psychologist and expert in psychotraumatology, and Merly Åsbogård and Rebecca Mott, who are both survivors of prostitution, we will be asking: Does prostitution have a negative impact on mental health? What about physical health? What is the role of dissociation? Is trauma in a woman’s childhood connected with her entry into prostitution? Why is it that for many women it is only after they have left the sex trade and found some degree of safety that they begin to understand how damaging it really was? Is recovery possible? What can facilitate recovery?
This event is free, but you need to register in advance.
