VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) — As businesses around the province close and their workers self-isolate, sex workers in B.C. are facing increased challenges to their health, safety and are experiencing an overwhelming financial strain.
During this time, Davis says some clients have even been trying to take advantage of the decline in business.
“[Some] trying to offer less money, trying to negotiate for a better price, asking for services that the workers don’t usually provide.”
She says clients are negotiating, “because they know that workers are getting more and more desperate.”
