PACE Society is pleased that the City of Vancouver has finally taken a position and steps toward a sex trade policy
A new strategy on the sex trade developed by the City of Vancouver [opens to PDF] is intended to provide a comprehensive framework and action plan to address sexual exploitation and the negative effects of sex work. The strategy is considered to be part of Vancouver’s Urban Health Initiative, which works to take a comprehensive approach to difficult social issues including homelessness, drug addiction and mental illness.
PACE Society—which is a sex worker led and driven organization offering low-barrier programming, support and safe respite for survival sex workers in Vancouver—has given its tentative support to the strategy, despite reservations about enforcement plans.
We speak with PACE Society board member Ellexis Boyle.
