Are you a sex worker in Toronto?
Welcome home.
Maggie's Toronto Sex Workers Action Project is Canada's oldest sex worker justice initiative offering wrap-around services, and life-affirming care to current and form sex workers across Toronto and the GTA.
From street outreach and harm reduction services/supports to case management, drop-in programming and community-specific resources for parents, QTBIPOC sex workers and male-identified workers, at the core of our work is an earnest belief that sex workers themselves are best equipped to determine what safety, dignity and community connection means to us.
Whether you're new to sex work, looking to transition between industries, or explore what life outside of sex work may look like for you, we're here to support and empower you to live, work and thrive on your terms.

What do criminal laws around sex work mean for me and how I work?
Resources to better understand the implications of Bill C-36: The Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act (PCEPA) on our ability to work in areas such as:
-
Communicating for the purposes of selling your own sexual services.
-
Advertising your own sexual services.
-
Working with other providers under the current legal framework and more.
We also have in depths resources from the Canadian Alliance for Sex Work Law Reform to help sex workers better understand each area of the law impacted by Bill C-36.

What do I need to know about border crossing and sex work?
Artificial intelligence and biometric identification tools used for the purposes of policing can make international travel for sex workers particularly challenging.
Our Border Crossing resources feature key considerations for sex workers in a few specific contexts:
-
Crossing the Canada-USA Border and what to expect if searched, questioned, detained or banned.
-
Travelling to popular holiday destinations and International overviews of sex work regulation.

What do I need to know about other areas of law and sex work?
The criminalization of sex work and resulting forms of stigma and prejudice against our communities shapes how other areas of the law, and important systems such as housing tribunals, landlord and tenant boards and child welfare services engage us in separate contexts.
Our Resource Page includes additional materials for current and former sex workers looking to understand how current, former or suspected sex work may impact our experiences with child and family law, housing policy/evictions and more.
