In March 2007, a constitutional challenge to Canada's sex work laws was filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. Five months later, a second challenge was initiated in the province of British Columbia. These simultaneous, but separate, cases argue that significant portions of the sections of the Criminal Code of Canada related to adult sex work violate the free expression, liberty, security and equality provisions of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
2007年3月,有人向安大略省高等法院提起了对加拿大性工作法律的宪法挑战。五个月后,不列颠哥伦比亚省也发起了第二项挑战。这两起同时发生但相互独立的案件认为,《加拿大刑法典》中与成人性工作相关的大部分条款违反了《加拿大权利和自由宪章》中的言论自由、人身自由、安全及平等条款。
