Carol Leigh a créé le terme Travail sexuel pour sortir de linjure et déstigmatiser lactivité. Ça a eu pour effet de rassembler auprès des personnes se prostituant dautres métiers du sexe comme les acteurICEs pornos ou les stripteaserEUSEs. Ça a aussi eu pour effet dinscrire les revendications des TDS pour des droits dans le mouvement des travailleurs sorganisant en syndicats pour réclamer des droits Ms. Jennifer Allen: Yes, where theres a dollar to be made, and especially in exploiting women in sexual activities. Its an easy way to make a buck. Theyll be there to make their buck. There have been attempts, for instance, in Alberta, and I believe in this province as well, to in fact detain youth who are involved in the sex trade and try to get them out and get the services they need before they get entrenched. That may be an approach that has some value, as long as, of course, there are the procedural fairness checks and balances so that the people who are detained are not detained unduly or too long Mr. Charles Cooke: Hedy, going off the Safe Care Act and Secure Care Act, I used to do it with my social workers too. I used to ask them to reframe it: if that was your son or your daughter, what would you do if he or she were a 12-year-old who was turning tricks or being exploited on the streets? If it was my son or daughter, Id try to protect him or her as best I could as a father, let alone as a citizen. If we are to intervene effectively in the lives of Canadian prostituted women we must educate ourselves to understand that prostitution is sexualized male violence. We must then create public policies, programs, and service delivery that reflect this knowledge.
Le Black Sex Worker Collective BSWC est un projet de la Ville de New York saffairant à soutenir les travailleurses du sexe noires dans leur région. Plusieurs façons de les soutenir sont détaillées sur leur. You are allowed a 10-minute presentation between the two of you, in the event that you both wish to present Mr. Art Hanger: And they wouldnt be, as weve heard in so many of the statements here, harassed by the police and theyd be safer. I assume your operation is safer? In my analysis over the years Ive yet to find anyone who says that the present legal structure is working or that section 213 has reduced the nuisance and damage to neighbourhoods. As you are well aware, this section has been implicated in the epidemic of violence against prostitutes. If we assume the sex trade will continue, then our legal structure must clarify where and under what conditions it will take place. We have too much criminal law. Naive beliefs that every problem can be solved by having a law against it has proliferated statutes, regulations and offences. We have too many criminal charges, too many criminal cases in our courts, too many people in our prisons. The Chair: We would appear to be winding down. This is the first time its happened; youve stumped all our MPs, and I want to compliment you on that. Stumped is the wrong word-youve exhausted all their questions.
Id certainly like to thank the presenters today for all this quite valuable information, I believe, to add to our list and for purposes of assisting us in making a decision later on. This has been a very productive morning-at least, I found it to be so. Haut magistrat ayant rédigé un rapport ministériel à la demande du Président de la République Valéry Giscard DEstaing, suite à la révolte des prostituées lyonnaises. Ayant reçu notamment des collectifs de prostituées, son rapport soulignait les contradictions de la législation mais fut peu suivi deffets. Basé sur ces faits, il est illusoire de croire quil y a consentement. Et au consentement, joppose la consensualité, qui elle, est complètement absente dans cette violence compensée Mr. Art Hanger: Would you explain that some more? Obviously, youre coming at this from a different perspective. To your mind theres another process, clearly, where we could engage the community and the different agencies. It would definitely have to involve enforcement if we looked at it from that perspective. Trafficking of women into Canada will increase. Good business strategy on the part of pimps means they can move women and children to countries where there are no legal barriers to the operation of sex businesses Mr. Art Hanger: Thank you. I appreciate your presentation very much. It is packed with a lot of information that will be valuable for our committee, no doubt.
