About the Event:

If you support individuals affected by domestic abuse, it is likely you will encounter those involved in sex work. Understanding the unique challenges sex workers face is essential to providing effective support.

This interactive two-hour session will cover:
✔ What sex work is and how it is defined.
✔ How sex work is perceived and legislated in Canada.
✔ The intersections of domestic abuse and sex work, including the barriers and risks sex workers face when seeking help.

Equip yourself and your organization with the knowledge and tools to better support this population.
