Guest W***ledi*Time Report post Posted September 3, 2009 Op/Ed piece in the Winnipeg Free Press, 3 Sep 2009. Kelly Gorkoff (from University of Winnipeg's department of criminal justice) writes in support of decriminalization: "The [current] law forbids discrimination, violence and abuse -- yet, it precariously places prostitutes in the vulnerable position to experience nothing but. It does not benefit, support, or keep safe the bodies or souls of sex-trade workers." http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/westview/lets-get-rid-of-laws-that-punish-the-victims-56871367.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest W***ledi*Time Report post Posted September 9, 2009 "A Winnipeg sex worker talks about safety, Manitoba's new task force and why Canada's prostitution laws should be repealed": "Carol has been a sex worker for about five years, although she is currently "unemployed" - the result of a recent encounter with members of the Winnipeg Police Service's vice squad. She's also the driving force behind WeSWEAR, which stands for Winnipeg Sex Worker Education, Advocacy & Rights. The group is barely two months old and has about 12 members, some more active than others. Carol's plan is to grow it into an incorporated organization that will lobby for the decriminalization of prostitution."
