As part of the International Day of Sex Workers, the Sex Work Autonomous Committee (SWAC) organizes a protest in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal) to demand from the Trudeau government a bill to decriminalize sex work in Canada.
For several years, sex workers have been denouncing the negative effects of the current model which criminalizes clients and third parties, such as drivers and owners of escort agencies.
In workplaces like massage parlors and strip bars, working conditions are often threatened by bosses who take advantage of deregulation to lay down the law. Faced with safety issues, abuse and harassment, sex workers have little to no way to protect their rights to decent working conditions.
