Invisible Women
Powerful and Disturbing stories of Murdered Sex Workers
When news of a murdered woman hits the headlines in Australia, people sit up and take notice. Unless that woman happens to be a sex worker.
Drawn from interviews with the families and friends of victims, police, investigators and outreach support services, as well as consulting court transcripts, coroner's autopsy reports, police interviews and media reports, these stories of incredible women are both deeply moving and shocking in their insight and clarity.
Invisible Women is a book that's long overdue.
