Stripping the Illusion DVD and Resource Pack
OBJECT has produced a DVD of testimonies of women who have worked in lap dancing to expose the realities of the industry. We have put together a resource pack to go with the DVD which includes a campaign briefing, Frequently Asked Questions, written testimonies and a workshop outline for running a discussion group / seminar on the issue.
We are selling these packs with proceeds going to towards funding OBJECT’s campaign work and supporting women who have worked in the lap dancing industry to set up a self-help group.
Packs are on sale for £5 - £15 (plus £2.50 p&p) depending on how much you want to donate.
