I'll be blunt here. I'm all into keeping people alive and into harm reduction.
I want to point to the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls call for justice 9.11, which, in a synopsis, calls “upon police services to develop and implement guidelines” for the sex industry in consultation with sex workers. It says in call 4.3 that we call on the government “to support programs and services for Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA people in the sex industry to promote their safety and security”, and then it goes on.
I say that because I find that a lot of the laws, and even some of the interventions, are being put in place without sex workers or people involved in the industry being included, and it's causing women, girls and diverse-gendered folks to actually be unsafe. Could you expand on that, please, Madam Snider?
