[Wamvan] Fwd: question about WAM

[Joanna Chiu]

Hi Frieda,

Did you forward your communication with Jaclyn to the listserv for a
particular reason? Did you get her permission to share the correspondence?

I can't speak for WAM international, but at WAM Vancouver, members and
organizers have a range of opinions on sex work, and our prerogative is not
to push for consensus. Rather, we'd like to maintain a safer, respectful
space for the open discussion of feminist issues.

However, we still have core values that we would enforce. For example, since
WAM international is gender-inclusive, WAM Vancouver will also not tolerate
discrimination on the basis of gender orientation.

Does that make sense? Please contact me if you have any questions.

You can read more about WAM international's core values here:
