March 11, 2008 Public Forum in vancouver Should Prostitution be Legalized Before the 2010 Olympics? |
Workless Party Public Forum asks "Should Prostitution be Legalized Before the 2010 Olympics"? Tuesday, March 11, 2008, YWCA, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada - Coast Salish Territory |
|
For Immediate Release  March 11, 2008
Vancouver - The legalization of prostitution has been a long neglected topic in the City of Vancouver. It�s time to revisit the question, consider alternatives, and look at solutions once again. The coming 2010 Winter Olympics make the topic especially timely. How will a mega-event that will bring thousands of tourists to Vancouver affect the sex trade in the city? Will the recent implementation of a sex worker's cooperative help or merely compound the problem and further exploit already marginalized women? Is there a solution to Vancouver's sex trade? What about the trafficking of women? Can a rationale policy that recognizes the multiple dimensions of the sex trade be found? |
