About this service
Metro Vancouver has among North Americas largest sex worker populations. Similarly to people in mainstream employment, many people in the sex industry enjoy their work, while others may wish to transition to other types of employment. However, unlike career transitions in mainstream industries, sex workers can face complex barriers to leaving sex work. Due to intersecting factors including stigma and criminalization, some sex workers may have gaps in their education or employment history, or may be reluctant to disclose sex work involvement for fear of discrimination. Some may not have access to essential housing, substance use or mental health services which could enable an employment transition, or may have a criminal record which restricts new career avenues. In addition to the many barriers to exiting sex work, there is a lack of services explicitly designed for sex workers who wish to transition to independent and mainstream employment.
