In Chapter 8 authors Caitlin Janzen and Susan Strega centre the issue of intersubjective relationality when reflecting on their research work with women transitioning out of street sex work, many of whom are Indigenous and racialized, and who, as part of the research, shared their testimonies of violence and trauma. The chapter explores narratives of women who transition out of sex work and place their narratives into larger social, political and historical contexts.
