Many organizations have formed catering companies
as a way to generate funds. The lack of core financing
for Non Profit Societies has long been a barrier to
sex worker organizing. Too often sex worker priorities
are dismissed as difficult to fund because funding
envelops often are not accessible to emerging populations.
It is plan that through all of these business endeavours
the sex workers rights movement will be able to fund
the actions we feel are a priority.
Also, the operating of this company could provide
liveable wages for sex workers. Sex workers exiting
the industry expressed that existing supports do not
provide and opportunity for them to earn money and
they are left with nothing but a resume. The experience
of working and the many aspects of running businesses
will give sex workers the skills and experience they
need to work within the coop and compete for employment
outside of the sex industry.
This enterprise is currently on hold while we seek
funding to take our objectives forward.
