心疼


一名性工作者昏迷了,過去她的工作曾撫慰眾多人客的性苦悶,她的勞動支撐了貧窮的原生家庭,和歸綏街巷子裡的流浪貓。廢娼之後、昏迷之前,白蘭遭遇了什麼事?昏迷之後,載著沉重心結回到台東山邊的家,是什麼樣的心情?

日日春和義工們的陪伴,讓白蘭的故事不至湮滅在社會新聞一角,她們努力讓社會看見,合法公娼走入歷史後,小姐們艱辛求生的歷程。

A sex worker had been falling into a coma…

In the past, her work had consoled many lonely souls and their sexual needs. Her labor had supported her original family, and a group of stray cats in the alley. After the licensed prostitutes were banned, and before Bailan went into a coma, what had happened to her during the time? And after the illness, returning to her hillside home in Taitung, how does she feel about all the happenings?

Thanks to the company of Collective Of Sex Workers And Supporters (COSWAS) and its volunteers, the story of Bailan is not just a stamp-sized news story and does not vanish in oblivion. Their efforts have let the society witness the struggles and survivals of these ladies, after licensed prostitution becomes history.
