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!
