On this episode of Women on the Line we chat with Katia Schwartz about the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and its recent amendments excluding disabled people from accessing sex work services. We’re joined on the show by Katia who is a Deaf, professional erotic performer and career sex worker since 2008. She is also the National Programs Manager at Scarlett Alliance and on the Board of Touching Base. As a member of the disability, sex work and queer communities, Katia is a strong public advocate for inclusion, anti-discrimination and destigmatisation of marginalised groups. Please note that this episode mentions whorephobia and ableism. Transcript available here. Photo by Natasha Killeen.
