Maggie’s Toronto Sex Workers Action Project
Maggie’s Toronto Sex Workers Action Project is Canada’s oldest sex worker justice initiative offering wrap-around services, and life-affirming care to current and form sex workers across Toronto and the GTA.
From street outreach and harm reduction services/supports to case management, drop-in programming and community-specific resources for parents, QTBIPOC sex workers and male-identified workers, at the core of our work is an earnest belief that sex workers themselves are best equipped to determine what safety, dignity and community connection means to us.
Our programs are available to all current and former sex workers, and we operate on a self-disclosure/trust-based model. We are always looking for new and creative program/workshop offerings and prioritize working with current/former sex workers to facilitate programming!

Native Youth Sexual Health Network
A grassroots, Indigenous youth led organization in cooperation with a network of intergenerational relatives that works across issues around reproductive health, rights and justice throughout the US and Canada.
We are youth led, but value the support of our intergenerational circles of relatives to do our work. Some of our areas of work include HIV/AIDS awareness, culturally safe sex education, #landback advocacy, Midwifery and Birth Justice, as well as Two-Spirit/Gender and Sexuality Education. Our network spans Turtle Island, creating space to engage with everything and anything that we know to affect our bodies, minds and spirits.
We often refer to each of our areas of work as a fire, and different folks in our network tend to different fires. We have a central fire, which the core team maintains (we do things like keeping the website running, connecting youth leaders with mentors and supports, and stewarding bigger projects). The smaller fires represent different key areas of work which we are currently feeding and tending to (for example, the harm reduction fire is tended by folks throughout our nations, who dedicate their focus to gathering resources to sustain harm reduction fires and inviting relatives to collaborate on work). Sometimes, when our capacity or the interests of youth leaders shifts, a fire may go out — sometimes temporarily, and sometimes for a long time. We acknowledge that this is within the teachings of many of our nations. Fires do not necessarily exist to be sustained forever, and we honour that every fire in our network’s work is governed by the youth leading it. We also encourage youth leaders to light new fires and create projects in their areas of interest!
Access Info: We host a variety of events and gatherings throughout Turtle Island in partnership with various organizations.
