TORONTO— An upcoming forum aimed at raising awareness about Canada’s sex-trade industry runs the risk of glamorizing an underground sector that has often exploited the poor and marginalized, some critics caution.
The Sex Workers Event on Feb. 18 in Hamilton, has been organized by the Workers Arts and Heritage Centre and Hamilton Artists Inc., as part of an ongoing series on different employment sectors.
“We’re doing this event in an empowering kind of way,” the event’s co-ordinator, Ian Jarvis, said on Friday. “We want to get an honest, open perspective out there of what it’s like to do the work that they do . . . “
It’s being billed as one of the first of its kind in the country.
The public forum will feature a panel of local Hamilton sex workers — prostitutes, strippers, escorts and porn stars — who will speak openly about their experiences in the industry and worker safety concerns.
