Radio AvA is a sex workers radio project created by and for the sex work community. We centre the voices of sex workers (and sometimes allies) in activism, art, politics and beyond to share conversations that reflect our current political and social climate. We fight for the full decriminalisation of sex work, an end to the violent systems of incarceration and boarders and against the whorearchy which only serves to divide us.
We are London based and have been creating radical diy content since 2016. We welcome contributions from current sex workers and those with lived experience of sex work. No previous radio or media experience ever required.

Here's a very emotional hour to carry you all through from the pride hangover crash that signals the end of summer. We were so honoured to be joined by two new guests Shy Trans & Thanna. Shy shared her incredible story of overcoming being outed as HIV positive by a fellow content cre...
