About Vanessa Ho
Vanessa Ho, the coordinator of Project X, a social advocating sex workers’ rights in Singapore, believes that if people can speak about sex, gender and sexuality in open and in non-judgemental ways, society will become a safe place for everyone. Along with Project X,
she was a pioneer in bringing the international SlutWalk movement to Singapore and she has been very instrumental in upholding the rights of the LGBT community. Educated in UK, Vanessa has been awarded AWARE’s Young Activist of the year in 2014 for being an indefatigable advocate on critical issues that often get little attention, and for her amazing passion for equality across the board in Singapore.
Highlights:
Vanessa intends to start with a documentary screening and have discussion session regarding the following topics:
-Clarify the legality of sex work in Singapore
-The Issue faced by sex workers
-Sharing some stories based on the people Project X meets and interacts with.
