Wag The Doug

Ep. 28 - The Government's Hidden Attack On Sex Workers


Listen Later

Allison and Jonathan talk to Elene Lam of Butterfly, the Asian and Migrant Sex Workers Support Network, who explains how the government's new Bill 251 will actually cause harm to vulnerable populations that are already criminalized and over-policed.
