Hacking//Hustling partners with institutions that work at the intersection of tech and social justice to put on educational harm reduction conferences, workshops, installations and trainings working to bridge the gap between sex workers, academic institutions and the tech community to create space for sex workers within tech. Many of our organizers speak on sex work, tech policy and law at other institutions.
With Covid-19, our efforts are moving to providing harm reduction trainings and digital and legal literacy trainings online.
