  • Challenge your presumptions, stereotypes and conventions with Stacey Clare, as she raises important questions at the intersection of feminism, worker’s rights, objectification and sex work.
    Stacey Clare cannot be defined as one type of professional - she has already lived many different lives as a performer, writer, activist, stripper, model, teacher, theatre maker, artist, events manager, PA, professional care worker, and founding member of the East London Strippers Collective.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

      @@izdatsumcp realise this is an old comment but it's near the top so worth pointing out for new viewers: this is happening now. The largest wholefoods retailer in the UK is a worker's co-op, for example. But when they're competing against undemocratic corporations where the competitive edge is found in a race to the bottom in terms of workers' wages and conditions, it's no wonder that they find it difficult. If we want a society that rewards its workers for their hard work, we need to give them more protection against the vultures, in the same way that we did a hundred years ago by implementing minimum wages, working hours, unions etc.

    I'm heart broken. People are so cruel ignorant on what dancers actually do. We have no rights, no sympathy, no humanity. We're labeled as "whores, prostitutes, trash etc." I was abused at work injured my knee and now I'm thrown away no rights whatsoever because I was an independent contractor. Thankfully I consider myself intelligent enough to find ways to rise and continue paying my family's living costs. Just devastated on how they rejected responsibility and help all because I was a "stripper"

      Why don't you learn a skill that is independent of you looks? If you are skilled it is harder to be replaced. If you have done pole dancing maybe you are in a good physical shape, and maybe find a job a fitness instructor,dance instructor,kinetotherapist for example.

      A lot of escorts are independent and some of them exert a good decree of control on who they let be as their clients. It is crucial to protect your well-being in your line of work, whatever it may be. It would probably be very benefical if there was some page where you could hire independent strippers instead of going to clubs.

But I must disagree with the phrase "see me as I choose to be seen" I think people have the right to see other people as they want. I actually think it doesn't match with the whole talk about freedom and work choice. Still was a nice punchline I just don't like it.
