Byborg's Le Shaw Research Institute Teams Up With Cupcake Girls

LUXEMBOURG — LiveJasmin parent company Byborg Enterprises’ Le Shaw International Sexual Health and Wellness Research Institute has joined forces with U.S.-based sex worker advocacy group The Cupcake Girls.

A rep said that Le Shaw “will contribute its expertise in scientific research and their focus on activism and community engagement, to further the organization’s mission and help promote a more inclusive and respectful understanding of sex work.”

The Cupcake Girls’ mission is to provide essential resources and support services to assist individuals in need in navigating and overcoming challenges following traumatic experiences, or wishing to find safe resources as they continue with their careers in sex work.    

Bobbi Bidochka, director of Le Shaw, emphasized the potential of the new alliance.

“The Cupcake Girls are making substantial contributions towards empowering sex workers and survivors of sex trafficking,” Bidochka noted. “Our shared values and goals make this partnership a powerful step forward in addressing the systemic issues in the industry and promoting a sex-positive culture.”
