La rue mise à nue : prostitution et gangs de rue
Cette année, le comité « enjeux sociaux» du CjM s'est penché sur la violence vécue dans les rues par les jeunes âgés de 12 à 30 ans à Montréal. À partir de cette préoccupation, il a dégagé deux aspects majeurs à cette dynamique : les gangs et la prostitution de rue. Croyant fermement que la Ville de Montréal peut devenir un exemple à suivre pour la lutte à la dignité et à l'intégration des jeunes, le CjM a donc élaboré un avis intitulé : « La rue mise à nue : prostitution et gangs de rue» ayant pour objectif de faire le point sur la situation des jeunes Montréalais et Montréalaises qui fréquentent des gangs de rue ainsi que le monde de la prostitution et à formuler — tout en reconnaissant le travail déjà accompli — des pistes d'intervention adaptées à la réalité de la métropole.

Sex Work
In the early twentieth century, abolitionists sought to stamp out sex work by penalizing all involved. In the generation that followed, neo-abolitionists looked at the sex industry from a feminist perspective, claiming that workers were victims caught in a patriarchal matrix. Yet both agreed that the industry was a destructive and corrupting force that should be eliminated. In this radical volume, five academics and activists convey their vision of prostitution as work, reclaiming the place of sex workers in the discussion of their lives and their work, and opposing discourses that position them as merely victims without agency.
Organizing for Sex Workers’ Rights in Montréal
This book is based on a case study about Stella, l’amie de Maimie a Montréal sex workers' rights organization, founded by and for sex workers. It explores how a group of ostracized female-identified sex workers transformed themselves into a collective to promote the health and well-being of women working in the sex industry. Weighed down by the old and tenacious whore symbol, the sex workers at Stella had to find a way to navigate the criminality of sex work and sex workers, in order to do advocacy and support work, and create safer spaces for sex workers to engage in such advocacy. This book focuses on sex workers, but the advocacy challenges and strategies it outlines can also apply to the lives of other marginalized groups who are often ignored, pitied, or reviled, but who are seldom seen as fully human.
L'intime et le marché
Alors que le débat sur la prostitution prend de l'ampleur dans le contexte politique actuel, cet essai de philosophie morale et politique propose une réflexion sur les enjeux éthiques soulevés par cette question. Ainsi, peut-on parler de liberté et d'autonomie sexuelle en fonction du marché? L'auteure avance que nous devons repenser la sexualité selon une compréhension contemporaine de l'éthique et du rapport à l'autre. De plus, l'auteure considère que la défense libérale des choix individuels en matière de sexualité devrait nous amener à la considérer comme un domaine devant échapper aux rapports contractuels, ainsi qu'aux pressions économiques du marché, qui caractérisent la prostitution.
Street Sex Work and Canadian Cities
"Our voices scrubbed out and forgotten. There are those who research and write about sex workers who often forget we are human."- Amy Lebovitch Canadian cities are striving for high safety ratings by eliminating crime, which includes "cleaning" urban areas of the street sex industry. Ironically, those same sex workers also want to live and work in a safe environment. Shawna Ferris interrogates sanitizing political agendas, analyzes exclusionary legislative and police initiatives, and examines media representations. She gives a voice to sex workers who are often pushed to the background, even by those who fight for them. In the name of urban safety and orderliness, street sex workers face stigma, racism, and ignorance. Their human rights are ignored, and some even lose their lives. Ferris aims to reveal the cultural dimensions of this discrimination through literary and art-critical theory, legal and sociological research, and activist intervention. This book has much to offer to educators and activists, sex workers and anti-violence organizations, and academics studying women, cultural, gender, or indigenous issues.
