Why is Tøs Journal also a research project? What does this mean for members of the sex industry?

TØS Journal is a part of a PhD research project that will investigate how independent publishing can provide beneficial platforms for specific communities, in this case, sex workers.

In order to achieve the objectives of the project, we want to produce an independent lifestyle publication for sex workers by sex workers. 

Limited research has been done in the field of sex worker peer-publishing and independent magazine publishing in Australia. This research seeks to address this.

This project aims to provide a platform for sex workers to tell their stories in their own words.
