On the eve of the International Day Against Prostitution, renowned expert Huschke Mau will share her experiences in prostitution and discuss their societal and political implications. The event, part of the 'Faceless - Women in Prostitution' exhibition at the Kunsthaus Wiesbaden, will take place in the city council chamber of the state capital Wiesbaden.
