PIVOT Releases Report on Sex Trade

Report Calls to End the Criminalization of Sex Trade Workers

March 1, 2004
The PIVOT Legal Society has released a report titled Voices for Dignity: A Call to End the Harms Caused by Canada's Sex Trade Laws. The report, based on first hand accounts of 91 sex trade workers, found under the current criminal laws, sex trade workers experience significant harm - sexual assualt, stigma, lack of access to police protection, social inequality, torture, and murder.  PIVOT found that the current laws violate the basic human rights of sex trade workers and therefore should be repealed because they are unconstitutional.  The report contains a number of recommendations including to end the criminalization of the sex trade.

What is APC?

APC is...The Anti-Poverty Committee is an organization of poor and working people, who fight for poor people, their rights and an end to poverty by any means necessary.

The poor face constant attack under the capitalist system and these attacks have only intensified under the BC Liberal government. APC is committed to fighting the brutal policies of the BC Liberals through direct action, mass mobilization, and casework.

We oppose racism, sexism, homophobia, and all other forms of oppression. APC is an independent and democratic organization open to anyone who agrees with our basis of unity. We are committed to working in solidarity with the struggles of other progressive movements — locally, nationally, and internationally — to end poverty and injustice.
