Objectification, sexual liberation and the new moralism

Friday 16th December 2011
7:30pm to 9:30pm

AWL London forum. Are some feminists chiming in with the anti-sex right?

At the Exmouth Arms, Starcross Street, Euston, NW1 2HR (see map)

Speakers including Thierry Schaffauser, sex worker activist, and Cathy Nugent, Workers’ Liberty

Have some feminists, concerned to fight the objectification and sexual exploitation of women, adopted positions on sex work, pornography and other issues which bring them close to the moralistic right-wing?

What should socialist feminists say about these issues? How do we develop a feminist politics which fights women being objectified and exploited while also championing sexual liberation and fighting the right-wing drive against sexual freedom?
