Do you want to review the readings I have on youth in the sex trade for a class I’ll be lecturing in November? Here they are (and yes I know the case law isn’t “good law” but there are some sections that I want to use for a discussion on youth in the sex trade, especially how the law treats and views youth in terms of their agency and their rights):

To read:

General introduction on youth in the sex trade: http://www.parl.gc.ca/content/lop/researchpublications/2011-119-e.htm#a21 (ONLY sections entitled “Child Protection” and “secure care”) AND https://kwetoday.com/2015/03/14/a-controversial-issue-youth-in-the-sex-trade/ AND http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/cj-jp/yj-jj/rr01_13/rr01_13.pdf (ONLY sections 1.2, 2.2, 2.10-2.13)

Review: Protection of Sexually Exploited Children Act

Can you spot the difference in how the law treats and views adult sex workers from youth in the sex trade?
