Invisible women: powerful and disturbing stories of murdered sex workers
Kylie Fox and Ruth Wykes talk to crime author Angela Savage about why the murders of sex workers so often meet with indifference. Ordinarily, when news of murdered women hit the headlines in Australia, people sit up and take notice.Why: Invisible Women tells the stories of several murdered sex workers – all of whom are somebody’s mother, daughter, wife or sister – whose identities have been erased. Why do we see some lives as less valuable than others, and what price do we all pay for this shocking lack of care? These amazing stories of incredible women are both deeply moving and shocking in their insight and clarity. And definitely way overdue.
