Critically, such a plan should be developed in collaboration with Indigenous women’s organizations to ensure their full and effective participation in defining needs and solutions.

Sex work (the consensual exchange of sexual services for money) is not trafficking, and trafficking laws should not be used as a reason to investigate sex workers and sex work businesses unless there is compelling evidence of debt bondage, violence, deprivation of liberty, or similar exploitation.

Recommendation 1:
The PCEPA is an unconstitutional set of laws that imposes more danger and more criminalization on sex workers and leaves them with fewer safe options. We recommend repealing all criminal laws that prohibit the purchase or sale of sexual services by adults and that limit adults selling sex from working with others in non-coercive situations. This includes the PCEPA and provisions such as Section 213(1)(a) and (b), which were not constitutionally challenged in Bedford.
