Report calls for changes to the law to improve safety, security and well-being of sex workers.
In June of 2005, the STAR (Sex Trade Advocacy and Research) project submitted a report to the House of Commons subcommittee regarding the prostitution-related sections of the Criminal Code. The report calls for the repeal of these Criminal Code sections, the recognition of prostitution as work under provincial laws, changes to municipal by-laws and increased funding for sex worker organizations to engage in education, support and advocacy.
