Vice Squad

In this discussion, we turn our focus to the often hidden world of street-based services that intersect with sex work. We'll hear from individuals who provide various services on the streets, such as street performers, artists, and vendors, exploring their experiences and the challenges they face in a space that is heavily scrutinized by law enforcement. This episode will highlight the unique dynamics of these interactions, the impact of policing on their livelihoods, and how they navigate safety and community in a world that often overlooks their contributions. By amplifying these voices, we aim to broaden the conversation around street economies and the nuances of survival in urban environments.
