In September 2010, three Canadian Criminal Code provisions related to prostitution were ruled unconstitutional because they increase the risk of harm to people working in the sex industry (PWSI). Using data from studies with PWSI and key informants conducted in several Canadian cities, we examine three domains related to worker health and safety: occupational health and safety, perceptions of and behaviors toward workers, and access to essential services. Addressing these issues necessitates moving beyond decriminalization. We conclude that using a harm reduction/labor rights framework would enhance our ability to address issues related to the physical, social, and mental well-being as well as rights of PWSI.
2010 年 9 月，加拿大刑法典中的三项与卖淫相关的条款被判违宪，因为这些条款增加了从事性工作者（PWSI）人身伤害的风险。本研究利用在加拿大多个城市开展的针对 PWSI 及关键知情人的研究数据，考察了与工人健康和安全相关的三个领域：职业健康和安全、对工人的看法和行为，以及获得基本服务的机会。解决这些问题需要超越非刑事化。我们的结论是，采用减少伤害/劳工权利框架将增强我们解决与 PWSI 的身心健康和权利相关问题的能力。
