How might your spatial oppression research work with sex workers inform a solutions-focused and/or narrative-based practice with individuals experiencing spatial oppression due to their illicit drug use?

Are there any societies outside of Canada that have succeeded (or are on the path towards) in a more nuanced/humanizing view of sex work, and do you think their approaches would fit in Canadian society? Are there any places where sex work isn't seen as unsafe?

With the rise in sex work in online settings, are online communities being treated as a space that needs to be explored where sex workers need to be protected from exploitation? Or could online spaces provide safer alternatives to sex work in person?

As someone who knows a significant amount of information regarding sex work, what would you say are the first steps in destigmatizing sex work in Canada? Do you think it is important that Canada works towards decriminalizing it? Or do you think that it would be more beneficial to fully legalize an industry through government rules and regulation that allows profit from physical interaction? What do you think would be the most beneficial for the safety and wellbeing of sex workers?

In the video, you spoke a bit about the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Inquiry and it made me think of the concept of intersectionality that has been mentioned a couple times in this course. Do you think that the stigma surrounding sex work and the culture of violence that results, especially in the case of MMIWG, needs to also consider intersectionality?

Sex work is one of the oldest occupations in the world. In Canada, sex work is not illegal however the means of acquiring it is (for example offering money for sex in a public place is illegal). What steps could social workers take to provide a safe environment for sex workers to work at that also works towards the de-stigmatization of sex work, that is also legal? What could social workers to do to work towards overturning these types of laws that make it that much more dangerous for sex workers?

I feel that the law and unsafe sex work often intercept, especially surrounding the topic of initiating safe environments and striking down the stigma around sex work. Although the law prohibits the purchase of sex work and allows the act of selling sex work, do you believe making sex work completely legal for both buyer and seller would be beneficial in creating safer environments and less stigma or would it have negative implications? I am curious to know about your perspective towards this debate on whether a change of legislation is needed or not.

Hi Alison! Thank you for sharing your video and article. I have never considered the impact that place has on sex work and with the rise of OnlyFans and other sites I had thought most sex work was online now. Due to stigmatization, sex work is criminalized and/or occurs in the outskirts of society. This feels reminiscent to the lacklustre sex education taught in schools that reinforces societies stigma towards sex itself. I'm curious as to whether you believe improving sex education could reduce the stigma around sex and thus sex work in societies? What needs to be included in a sex education curriculum? Furthermore, many of the voices for sex work on social media are from indoor based perspectives(e.g. OnlyFans), I'm curious as to how we can better include outdoor-based sex workers in the conversation so that we can meet their needs?

I imagine that a social worker would have to be very aware of their own personal experiences and beliefs that impact their work with sex workers. In what ways has your own critical self-reflection impacted your work with sex-workers? Have you noticed your beliefs and ideologies of sex work change over time?  Do you think that other social workers may be more focused on “saving” people from that line of work?  In what ways do you find a balance between creating a safe environment for sex workers and helping workers who want to leave the field entirely?

I am wondering what you think the best method would be for decreasing some of the stigma surrounding sex workers, and how social workers could help? I think advocation would play a big role here, but I'm curious if the first step would be advocating to the public for a better understanding, or advocating to the government for safer environments? Do you think the public needs to better understand the individuals in sex work, to then help in advocating for change? Or if there was a way, as some of my colleagues have asked, if we could make sex work a safer industry, do you think the stigma would begin to decrease?

If sex workers are able to practice in more safe and less stigmatized environments, do you think this will reduce shame on the micro level such as in the worker themself or their family?

Can you explain your comprehension of a social worker's duties in safeguarding and promoting the rights of sex workers and describe your methodology for engaging with this community in a respectful and empowering way?

How could you use the feminist theory to help protect sex workers in Canada, make it safer for them to do their job, and is this the best way to advocate for them? Would the feminist theory help decrease the stigma around sex workers or does this need to be fixed a different way, as in it’s more of a community change that needs to happen? If it is more of a community change that needs to happen, would group work be the best way to go about it?
