Kurfürstenstrasse


Sex work often presents a choice-coercion dichotomy. Here, we’re off ered a fragment of the criminalised industry seen from an eye that didn’t judge. The woman in this photo, Sabine, poses with a certain confidence, that she should be permitted the dignity to feel empowered by her choices regardless of her social or economic circumstances. Selling sex isn’t always a low-hanging fruit to survival, but for those who are systematically victimised and abused, it might be the only way to stay alive.
Part of a series that depicts the sex work around Kurfürstenstraße in Berlin, Germany.
