Today, on International Sex Workers’ Rights Day, we stand with sex workers at the forefront of the labour movement.
Listen to their voices. Amplify their demands. Stand in solidarity. There is no workers’ justice without sex workers’ justice.

This story isn’t centred around sex workers or even trafficking victims. It’s about police – police actions, police beliefs and police PR without any critical questions about their effectiveness or the negative impact on sex workers. This is not journalism.

Harms of criminaliztion GO BEYOND ARREST. The immunity for #sexworkers only protects against arrest. PAY ATTENTION TO THE CONSEQUENCES OF CRIMIALIZING SEX WORK. This is not protection #sexwork. #RepealPCEPA @SCC_eng @liberal_party #cdnpoli @JusticeCanadaEN
