Policing Race, Gender and Sex Work: A Sex Work Decrim Panel

In May 2024, a group of organizers, scholar-activists, movement lawyers, and community members gathered in so-called Toronto (unceded territories of the Mississaugas of the Credit, Anishnaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Metis and Wendat First Nations) to discuss the impacts of sex work criminalization on Black sex workers, and the ways in which advocates pushback against the erasure & racialized, gendered policing of sex work through court challenges, organizing, and community care.
