#51: Money Up Front

Summary: Lindsay is an Ottawa area sex worker. She works with the non-profit advocacy group POWER (Prostitutes of Ottawa/Gatineau Work, Educate, Resist) to decriminalize prostitution in Canada and improve working conditions for sex workers. She tells us how she got her start, what it’s like to have sex for money, and how different it is from Julia Roberts’ Pretty Woman. Thanks to Anne Patterson for putting us in touch with Lindsay – you can read her profile of Lindsay on Hello Ottawa.
