\nL\u2019IFVS est solidaire des travailleuse(-eur)s du sexe et des initiatives \u00e0 l\u2019appui de leurs droits, en Ontario, dans la lutte pour d\u00e9criminaliser enti\u00e8rement le travail du sexe.<\/p>\n\t
We acknowledge the harmful impact of criminalization through laws such The Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act in 2014, Bill 251 (Combating Human Trafficking Act, 2021), federal immigration regulations prohibiting migrant people from doing sex work, Ontario’s Anti-Human Trafficking Strategy (2021), municipal bylaws that promote the racial and social profiling of outdoor sex workers and indoor sex work establishments, and the over policing and under protection of sex workers in all areas of the sex industry.<\/p>\n
Nous sommes solidaires des travailleuse(-eur)s du sexe et de leurs alli\u00e9-es dans le d\u00e9mant\u00e8lement de ces syst\u00e8mes, en Ontario et ailleurs. Nous appuyons la mise en place de politiques qui respectent les droits et la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des travailleuse(-eurs) du sexe dans nos communaut\u00e9s, y compris la d\u00e9criminalisation compl\u00e8te du travail du sexe, c\u2019est-\u00e0-dire l\u2019abrogation des lois p\u00e9nales relatives au travail du sexe, des dispositions l\u00e9gales sur l\u2019immigration qui interdisent le travail du sexe aux migrant-es, de m\u00eame que des autres lois qui criminalisent les travailleuse(-eur)s du sexe, les client-es et les tierces parties.<\/p>\n“Decriminalization of sex work would have the greatest impact on the course of HIV epidemic across all settings, averting 33-46% of HIV infections in the next decade. Multipronged structural and community-led interventions are crucial to increase access to prevention and treatment and to promote human rights for FSWs worldwide.”<\/em>
