At its convention in Halifax on April 21, 2018, the Liberal Party of Canada passed a resolution calling for the decriminalization of sex work. This is a first in the party’s 151 year history. We are very pleased with the intent of this resolution.
We look forward to working with the Liberal Party committee that is tasked with developing the details of decriminalization. As we work toward a more just policy, a policy that meaningfully includes and listens to the true experts, sex workers.
