A Nova Scotia escort is going after a client in the small claims court.
In Canada sex workers are allowed to sell sex, but they are not allowed to advertise, and clients are committing a criminal offence in the purchase.
It is hoped this case will shift the conversation about sex work in Canada. The sex worker in the case hopes that: Where it is in the sex worker's best interest to get paid for their work, it might be that we could argue that this kind of an illegal contract is still one that should be enforced, and that is what we will be arguing.
