In this week’s edition of the academic paper, we look at a MA thesis by Ntokozo Yingwana that investigates and answers the question: ‘What does it mean to be an African sex worker feminist?’ The thesis does this by exploring the embodiment of the three identities - being an African, a sex worker and a feminist - and their intersectionalities with social dimensions such as race, class and gender within the African context. The aim of the work, Yingwana says, is for feminists to recognise each other as comrades in the struggle for gender and sexual liberation, thus strengthening solidarity across social justice movements.
