1 y separately published work icon Prostitution Narratives : Stories of Survival in the Sex Trade Caroline Norma (editor), Melinda Tankard Reist (editor), Mission Beach : Spinifex Press , 2016 16791560 2016 anthology autobiography criticism 'For too long the global sex industry and its vested interests have dominated the prostitution debate repeating the same old line that ‘sex work’ is just like any job. In large sections of the media, academia, public policy, government and the law, the sex industry has had its way. Little is said of the damage, violation, suffering, and torment of prostitution on the bodies and minds of mostly women and children, nor of the deaths, suicides and murders that are routine in the sex industry. Prostitution Narratives: Stories of Survival in the Sex Trade refutes the lies and debunks the myths spread by the industry through the lived experiences of women who have survived prostitution.'
