Vancouver Sex Trade Workers To Be Offered Media Training Prior To Olympics
VANCOUVER, B.C. - Vancouver sex trade workers need to know their rights when dealing with cameras and reporters and will be offered media training leading up to the 2010 Olympic Games, an advocacy group said.
The Prostitution Alternatives Counselling and Education Society (PACE) will hold the session in November.
“We just want our members to feel safe in the neighbourhood in which they live and safe to work in the neighbourhood in which they live,” said spokeswoman Kerry Porth.
“We find sometimes that media attention to the area can be a little less than compassionate and we don’t want them to feel like animals in a zoo during that time.”[...]
The PACE training session will touch on issues like public photography and interview consent.
Sex trade workers? We don’t want them to feel like animals in a zoo?
Bawahahaha…

No one deserves that kind of humiliation, Davis added.
Yep, wouldn’t want to humiliate those hard core whores out there, huh?
Sheesh… Give me a break
