Sex workers at the forefront of the erosion of online privacy rights
Legislation that claims to protect sex workers is actually taking away their anonymity and privacy leading them into more precarious work environments.

The criminalization of sex work increases isolation and amplifies sex work stigma, leading to greater harm. Research is clear â the âfull decriminalization of adult voluntary sex workâ is the best way to protect sex workers' rights.

âPeople thrive off nature,â says a WISH Shelter Manager. But on the DTES, surrounded by concrete, nature is in short supply. Thatâs why the small garden in WISHâs backlot is so important. As one shelter resident recently shared, these flowers and plants make it feel âmore human.â
