Restrictive Communication Law Reduces Safety for Sex Workers, Argues Aboriginal Legal Services of Toronto (ALST)
ID: 269648
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 06/13/13 -- Today ALST urged the Supreme Court to strike down unconstitutional laws and protect street-level sex workers in its decision, Canada v. Bedford. In its intervention, ALST argued that:
"The court must consider the reality of Aboriginal street-level sex workers in the Canada v. Bedford ruling. Far too many Aboriginal women resort to survival sex work. Their safety and well-being are at risk daily. Principles of equality and the history of colonialism must be considered in order to protect their Charter rights" said Christa Big Canoe, one of the lawyers for ALST.
