FSC's Lotus Lain, April Flores Lead Consent Workshop at NSAC

SAN FRANCISCO — Lotus Lain and April Flores of the Free Speech Coalition (FSC) led a workshop last month on intimacy coordination and consent at the National Sexual Assault Conference (NSAC) in San Francisco.

During the workshop, titled "Concepts of Consent from Intimacy Coordination and Sex Work," Lain and Flores "brought the experiences of and strategies developed by sex workers to an audience of police sexual assault investigators, youth sex educators, trafficking survivor intake counselors, and many more harm reductionists to the fight against sexual assault and violence," said a rep. 

Lain elaborated on the subject matter.

"Sex workers know the complexities of consent better than anyone, and we need to own our expertise," she said. "This isn’t a theoretical issue for us, and it doesn’t happen in a vacuum. As trained intimacy coordinators and sex workers, we’re constantly thinking about boundaries, safety and consent. This was a chance to share that knowledge with a mainstream audience."
