Sex worker film festival to be held in London

The first sex worker film festival in London will be held next month, featuring documentaries and short films about the fight for human and labour rights.

The festival, on June 12, is being organised by a collective of sex workers and will include films from the UK, Australia, the United States and Brazil.

Funds raised will go towards an event later in the year aimed at challenging media "sensationalism" of sex workers and improving their rights.
