hello all!! hope everyone is doing well!! i have been posting a little less for awhile but for good reason, am the owner of a butchershop so working like crazy to make that fly! yes, i am handling sausage....not that much different than my sp work!!
ok, so some of you may know that i have been working in social justice for many years in vancouver here and back in 2007, the city tried to remove the "body-rub parlour" business licnese definition from the books. we reacted quickly as this license seems to create a legal space for prostitution to occur and was part of our plan for the "coop brothel" or safe work site....or safe erection site as we jokingly call it!! for the workers on the street. the license is a rooms for rent business model, workers could bring their customer to the coop brothel and rent a room for the encounter dramatically increasing their safety during the transaction.
addiction is/can be a symptom of violence so we hoped to decrease the amount of violence endured at street level in order to relieve the street workers need for so much dope. obviously this would not happen over night but that was/is the plan.
we won the day and the licnese remains. at the time we revised a number of city by-laws in draft form to update language and remove discriminatory/morality based rules that unfairly target sex industry businesses.
i have posted those revision a number of times through the years for people to weigh in. here`s a link to that work on perb ;
https://perb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...revisions-as-asked&highlight=by-law+revisions
the coop website is here if you would like to know more about the coop- http://www.wccsip.ca
i am a member of the task force and it is now underway with the by-law revisions as one of the actions we are directed to do by city council. i would like to have your opinions one last time on the revisions and hear any other suggestions or concerns people have.
as always, i hope to represent all of us, not just myself and will hear what people have to say on this. i will also represent the majority in terms of moving forward.
the short version of the revisions is that indy escorts will not require a license, legal venues for prostitution will be allowed to take place and workers in those venues will also not require a license.
cheers everyone, and i look forward to an interesting discussion!!for or against, every opinion matters so feel free to say how you feel.
love susie
