In 2013, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in Canada v. Bedford that
key prostitution laws were unconstitutional. Red Light Labour
addresses the new legal regime regulating sex work by analyzing how
laws and those who uphold them have constructed, controlled, and
criminalized sex workers, their clients, and their workspaces. This
groundbreaking collection also offers nuanced interpretations of
commercial sexual labour from the perspectives of workers, activists,
and researchers. The contributors highlight the struggle for civic and
social inclusion by considering sex workers’ advocacy tactics,
successes, and challenges. A timely legal, policy, and social analysis
of sex work in Canada.
