Ironically, those same sex workers also want to live and work in a safe environment. Shawna Ferris interrogates sanitizing political agendas, analyzes exclusionary legislative and police initiatives, and examines media representations. She gives a voice to sex workers who are often pushed to the background, even by those who fight for them. In the name of urban safety and orderliness, street sex workers face stigma, racism, and ignorance. Their human rights are ignored, and some even lose their lives. Ferris aims to reveal the cultural dimensions of this discrimination through literary and art-critical theory, legal and sociological research, and activist intervention. This book has much to offer to educators and activists, sex workers and anti-violence organizations, and academics studying women, cultural, gender, or indigenous issues. 0aProstitutionxSocial aspectszCanada.9213070 0aProstituteszCanadaxSocial conditions.9213071 0aCities and townsxSocial aspectszCanada.9213072  a= C.1 SDU  cGBE2lcc  c110117d110117  00102lcc406HQ0148 F368 S2015708CGB9280431aSDUbSDUcGEN3d2025-09-03e2l0oHQ148 F368 S 2015p1000385783r2025-09-03 00:00:00tC.1w2025-09-03yGBE
