The adult celebrity is a “patriot of her country,” said one of the amputees who took part in a flirty photo shoot.
Yulia Senyuk is more famous under her stage name Josephine Jackson — where her porn appearances have garnered over 200 million views — and now she’s using that celebrity status to raise funds for Ukrainian soldiers who lost limbs in the war against Russia.
“Porn actress rehabilitates the military. Wow!” Senyuk told POLITICO. “We wanted to draw attention to the problem of rehabilitation after injuries. Because a lot of people collect for drones, but forget about prosthetics. I think I managed to attract attention because more people started collecting donations for prosthetics.”
The 29-year-old resident of Lviv in western Ukraine became an ambassador for Tytanovi Rehab, a media initiative of a Kyiv clinic involved in the rehabilitation of more than 30 Ukrainian military amputees.
Senyuk took part in two photo shoots with Ukrainian war amputees, aimed at drawing attention to the lack of financing for prosthetics — a key need for thousands of Ukrainians who have lost limbs in the Russian invasion.
“Thanks to her media persona, Yulia helped to draw attention to the problems of seriously injured people. She organized a donation campaign. Unfortunately, state programs cannot provide good prosthetics,” Ivantsiv told POLITICO. “As for the content she produces, I don’t care. It’s a media product, you can choose whether to consume it. Yulia is Ukrainian and a patriot of her country.”
Based veteran. It’s amazing how easy it is to mind your business
Imagine hating porn stars more than hating Ukrainian amputees not having access to prosthetics
Minding your business is one thing, the other is porn being illegal in Ukraine. But let this be the first step towards rectifying that in the next era.
Wikipedia says:
“The possession, distribution, sale and manufacture of pornographic materials are illegal, with laws strictly enforced. Possession of pornographic material can carry a fine or up to three years imprisonment.”
