32. How the FIFA world cup will harm sex workers in Vancouver and beyond with SWAN Vancouver

As one of the host cities for the FIFA world cup, Vancouver is already prepping for the alleged sex trafficking that comes with the event. But there's a catch - there is absolutely no proof to back up the claim that such sporting events cause an increase in sex trafficking, nor even an increase in demand for consensual sex work. Crystal from SWAN Vancouver joined me to discuss the tangible negative effects these trafficking myths have on sex workers, as well as current political changes in Vancouver that are making vulnerable worker's situations more dire than ever. SWAN is a non-profit organization that promotes the rights, health, and safety of im/migrant women engaged in indoor sex work through frontline service and systemic advocacy. They offer low-barrier, culturally-specialized, and non-stigmatizing services through both inreach and outreach programs.Donate to SWAN:https://swanvancouver.ca/donate/Follow SWAN on IG:https://www.instagram.com/swan_vancouver/Volunteer in Vancouver to help SWAN organizer safer sex supplies:https://swanvancouver.ca/volunteer/
