  Resources





























This thesis really wouldn’t have been able to come to fruition if it wasn’t for the help of my friends and resources out there for sex workers. Everything in this profession fully revolves around money and the need for the utmost mutual respect. But being a part of this thesis you have directly had the pleasure of consuming media, for free, that gives a personal view and experience inside a world that many chose not to understand or even validate.
Since we have directly benefited and intellectually profited from the hard work of many sex workers and sex work organisations here is the part where I ask you to return the favour.

OSA was set up at the beginning of the pandemic in Providence, RI and sets up local donation events and collaborations. Providence was once known (and still is) as New Englands Strip Club Capital. The City has had an intense relationship to the many strip clubs due to Providence’s large mob affiliations.
