New Planet Classroom Show Focuses on the Human Rights of Sex Workers and Transgender People
International youth guests discuss the acclaimed film One Leg In One Leg Out and the misconceptions about sex workers and the trans community on the Planet Classroom Podcast.
NEW YORK, June 28, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Resilience and dedication pave the path for those willing to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. In the new episode of the Planet Classroom Podcast entitled Pride and Prejudice, Orb, the show's virtual host, unites the creator of the acclaimed film, One Leg In One Leg Out (now screening on the Planet Classroom Network YouTube Channel), along with international youth voices to explore the human rights of sex workers and transgender people. What happens when a transgender woman wants to become a social worker so she can help other girls in her position stay safe and turn away from that way of life? "I think what really makes this film so inspiring is that it shows the gritty reality of those marginalized in society, particularly transgender individuals." says Julian from California. "I have to admit that before watching this film I didn't have a good image of people with these kinds of jobs, but the film made me realize that in some cases they don't have these jobs because they want it, it's because they need it," notes Natalia from Mexico.
