Kat Banyard and Mia de Faoite

Pimp State

Hay Festival 2016, 
How society should respond to the rise of the sex trade is shaping up to be one of the twenty-first century's big questions. Should it be legal to pay for sex? Isn’t it a woman’s choice whether she strips for money? Could online porn be warping the attitudes of a generation of boys?  In Pimp State, leading feminist Kat Banyard argues that the global sex industry poses a grave threat to the struggle for women's equality. Join Kat as she explores the myths surrounding the sex trade with Mia de Faoite - a survivor of prostitution.
