B.C. sex workers' association says federal law kills membership drives

“It means we are prohibited from collecting annual membership dues and we’re prohibited from recruiting new members because we would most definitely be counselling and encouraging people to work in the sex industry,” Sorfleet said. “So it stands right in the way of sex workers being able to form their own association.”

That, he declared, is unconstitutional because the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees freedom of association.

“I would not be afraid to go to court on this,” Sorfleet said. “I believe we would win.”
