In this presentation I will problematise what it means to be at homewith feminism from the perspective of sex workers' rights activists inPoland. I will reflect on Nira Yuval-Davies' reflections on practices ofbelonging and othering within feminism and discuss what it means tobe at home with feminism in times of democratic backsliding in Polandin the years 2015-2023. Drawing on the experiences of sex workers'rights activists in participating in debates within feminist counter-publics. the emotions and affects that this entails, I will show howattempts to be at home with feminism can both generate positivefeelings of belonging as well as feelings of anger, disappointment or exhaustion.
