Description:
|
People involved in the sex industry report poorer physical, emotional and mental health than do other Canadians. While the author explored individual factors and noticed, for example, an association between an overall experience of childhood disadvantage and sex work involvement, the preliminary findings also point to the contribution of punitive laws and regulations, stigmatizing public attitudes and institutionalized practices that make it difficult for sex workers and others involved in the sex industry to access protections and supports like other Canadians.
