Since late April I’ve been involved in efforts to support sex workers in Ottawa-Gatineau during the COVID crisis. I’ve helped raise funds for the POWER Emergency Relief Fund and fielded numerous media requests (1, 2) as the Media Spokesperson for the group. This experience led me to co-author an article on sex workers’ exclusion from social safety nets like the Canadian Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) and the necessity to both decriminalize sex work while also instituting a universal basic income guarantee with my colleague Emma McKenna. “Beyond Social Safety Nets: COVID-19, Sex Workers, and Universal Basic Income’s Equitable Base” will be published online in a few weeks. In the mean time, check out Butterfly’s migrant sex workers and COVID-19 report.
