New York, NY (January 8, 2016) – The Leitner Center for International Law and Justice is pleased to announce the publication of Professor Chi Adanna Mgbako’s new book To Live Freely in This World: Sex Worker Activism in Africa (NYU Press).

Drawing on over 160 interviews with sex worker activists throughout the continent, Professor Mgbako weaves their voices and experiences into a compelling narrative about the history and ambitions of this inspiring movement.
