If you're asking me whether the law has made things safer for sex workers, it has not. There is research that has been done on this in public health.
For example, there's research from 2019, with 299 participants, that found 26.4% of respondents indicated negative changes to their working conditions since the enactment of PCEPA. That means it not only didn't stay the same, it got worse.
There's also research from Vancouver, actually, in spite of local policy guidelines particularly not targeting people, that shows that police presence leads to an increase in rushed client negotiations for sex workers. In this case, the research was with sex workers who use drugs. It was also associated with client-perpetrated violence and other markers of vulnerability. Therefore, the presence of the police is still increasing violence for sex workers.
There is another study, from 2021, with 200 sex workers in five cities in Canada, where 31% reported not being able to call 911 if they or another sex worker were in a safety emergency, due to fear of police detection of themselves or their colleagues or their management.
I could go on, but I don't want to drown everyone in statistics. I just want to say that, clearly, no, it is not working. It is not working for sex workers. It is not making their life safer, and it is not working for victims of sexual exploitation. It is not keeping them safer.
