\nThe introduction of the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act<\/em> (PCEPA)<\/a> on 6 December 2014 fundamentally changed the regulatory landscape surrounding prostitution in Canada. POWER\u2019s Research Repository (RR) is a clearinghouse of research about the implications of this new legal context. To that end the RR below brings together academic and community knowledges with a particular focus on post-PCEPA research. POWER does not endorse the literature in the RR, but aspires to facilitate access to a wide range of community and scholarly knowledge on sex work in Canada. We do so without assuming a position in relation to the ideas or positions taken by authors.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>For this project we developed a detailed inclusion\/exclusion criteria. In brief, entries were only added to the RR below if they were published works (no blogs or news sites) from 2015 forward and were either exclusively or in large part about Canadian sex workers or Canadian sex work laws. Publications that are about trafficking were excluded unless the author was making a comparative analysis and significantly acknowledged the difference between trafficking and sex work. For example, an article about how the discourse on trafficking impacts migrant sex workers’ rights would be included while an article on how trafficking impacts racialized women would not. While trafficking deserves to be studied as rigorously as any other social issue, its conflation with sex work as well as its over-representation in popular culture and scholarship alike requires explicit clarity in how it does and does not appear in POWER’s RR.<\/p>\n
\nBefore diving into the RR below we would like to draw your attention to two pre-PCEPA bibliographies. The first, Anglophone Research and Related Work on Prostitution in Canada<\/a>,<\/em> was compiled by John Lowman who generously allowed us to post it. It includes research up till 1 January 2012. The second bibliography (2012-2014 inclusive) was compiled by Zoey Jones and is available here<\/a>. If there are missing reference please advise us and we will gladly add them to the appropriate bibliography.<\/p>\n<\/i>Books<\/div>\n2019<\/u><\/h2>\n
