[SWAF-Potluck] retraining programs for sex workers?

[Mary Miriam Magdalena]

I looked into this myself a little while ago and from what i read, it
looked like all the money was going into organizations that were going to
handle this and make programs, and to the police for some reason. My sense
was that very little money would trickle down to actual individual workers
and there was nowhere to apply for grants or scholarships or whatever. In
other words, a bullshit promise that won't actually do what is most needed.
But hey, i encourage you to do a little research yourself and see if you
find anything different or maybe something has changed, and please report
back to us on your findings. I hope there is actually something available.
Good luck with your back.

hurt my back recently and have been off work and am feeling too vulnerable
to interact with clients.  It feels like an exciting time to explore new
career opportunities, when I actually have to make money doing what I
really want to do!  (making videos)
