Georgie Yovanovic is also an advocate for sex workers and a particular interest in Depathologising Healthcare pathways for Transgender and Intersex people of their lived experiences.

Kitty and Sasja open up to their humble beginings in sex work advocacy and how it all began.   Items as mentioned in this episode“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.” Elie Wiesel What do you do when someone just doesn't like you? | Daryl Davis | TEDxCharlottesville Standing up for sex workers.  Example from Married At First Sight
