Sex working in our society is considered a taboo to be broken. Ortica's goal is the demolition of stereotypes and prejudices about sex work, educating people to have a safer, more respectful, and healthier mindset towards sex workers. Every article collects voices, experiences, images: minds and bodies within sex working that tell their stories, themes that embrace and sting our sensibilities. It is not a sin, it is not a crime: the representation of one's own corporeality, the consensual sale of one's services, and the precise desire to give space and a voice to those who are marginalized for their sexual choices. A manifesto of sex working: this is how Ortica wants to approach our common life through a quarterly publication that pairs each season with a theme to be unmasked. Alongside awareness and labor dignity is the need to guarantee those who work in the sexual field a legitimate access to health and personal protection. Not a pornographic magazine, but its reflection: using erotism to de-stigmatize erotism itself and educate to respect it.
