Sex workers' experiences and occupational conditions post-implementation of end-demand criminalization in Metro Vancouver, Canada.

CONCLUSIONS: Most SWs reported no change in working conditions and one quarter reported negative changes, suggesting that PCEPA may be failing to advance sex workers' safety. Im/migrants, women experiencing workplace violence, and those facing criminalization were most likely to report negative impacts. Decriminalization of all aspects of sex work is needed to support well-being, health, and safety. PMID: 31183630 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
