Although being an African, a sex worker and a feminist are often considered
to be incongruent identities, in certain embodiments they intersect and
inform each other. This Profile highlights what feminism can learn from
analysing sex workers’ rights activism among a group of Cape Town-based
sex worker feminists called AWAKE! Women of Africa. AWAKE! organically
evolved out of the South African movement of sex workers called Sisonke
(meaning “we are together” in isiZulu), when some of its members who selfidentified
as feminists decided to come together to explore what it meant for
them to be African sex worker feminists.
