25 years ago, the brothel ban was lifted in the Netherlands. Sex work was already legal before, but the work spaces were not.

I'm soft-launching some #BacktoSchool posts for September. Here is a resource that I think will be useful for folks: www.georgebrown.ca/current-stud.... This really surprised me. Don't get me wrong, George Brown is still a crap employer. But this is a step above ground level. Baby claps to you 👏
Sex Work Support and Resources
Career Services is a safe space for students and graduates to discuss sex work, seek related career guidance, and access internal and external support, and resources.

(1/2) A little #backtoschool reading: rabble.ca/columnists/s.... All the universities mentioned in this article are 🗑️ and are fundamentally unsafe spaces for sex workers and other marginalized folks. HOWEVER, I do hope this article means things are changing ☂️
Support for sex workers is growing on campuses
I want to focus on how post-secondary institutions in Ontario are working to better support their sex-working students.

The UK are attempting to legalise the Nordic model of SW regulation in this country, ie criminalising the buyers of the service but not the seller. This has statistically been shown to be a dangerous model - I recommend the book Revolting Prostitutes for research-backed evidence.

Conflating sex work with trafficking undermines real solutions. More laws don’t help victims; they distract from enforcing existing ones. Digital Defenders United joins us to discuss why we need clearer definitions and more focused action.

A brothel is a premises where 2 or more sex workers are present, so these statistics are not comforting to us. We know sex workers are being prosecuted for working together for safety.

Myth: Criminalization Protects Vulnerable People
This myth frames laws against sex work as protective shields for vulnerable populations. It suggests that arrests, raids, and crackdowns are acts of compassion—that by criminalizing sex work, the state is keeping people safe from exploitation.

Many struggle to see that women and femme-identifying people can choose sex work and exercise agency. This challenges conservative views on sexuality and autonomy.

Instead of protecting SWers as it purports to do, the Nordic Model makes their work a LOT more dangerous as it means the only people willing to purchase their services are those who are comfortable breaking the law. It doesn't take much to extrapolate why this is wildly unsafe.

The @eswa-network.bsky.social report concluded that Europe-wide, sex workers face barriers to reporting violence against them, they are denied paths to justice and how the lack of safe working spaces increases the risk of being a victim of a crime.

Saviorism, moral policing and charity try to make us believe dignity looks like silence, subservience, and struggle done alone. In actuality, real dignity for pregnant sex workers looks like housing without discrimination, medical care without shame, autonomy over our bodies, income for our families

There is a common misconception that sex workers cannot be survivors of domestic violence. But, research shows they experience DV at high rates due to the intersection of anti- sex worker stigma, criminalization, racism, queerphobia, and gendered stereotypes.
