Following the advice of B.C.’s Provincial Health Officer in response to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic, and in accordance with restrictions imposed by the Province of British Columbia’s May 22, 2020 Order on Mass Gatherings which limits public gatherings to no more than 50 people, the organizers of the Red Umbrella March for Sex Work Solidarity have cancelled the in-person component of the event for 2020.

This year, the Red Umbrella March celebrates 20 years of history with the release of a video slideshow which traces its origins from the 49th International Venice Biennale Arte in 2001, and recalls the past eight years of sex workers’ public protests against Canada’s unjust prostitution laws in Vancouver, BC.

The right to protest is protected by fundamental freedoms in Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1986) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966). These are: freedom of peaceful assembly, freedom of association and freedom of expression.

In a democratic society, government restrictions on exercising peaceful assembly may only be imposed in the interests of: national security, public safety, public order, public health or morals or the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.
