Independent sex workers operate like any entrepreneur, exercising control over their clientele and setting their own rates. These women often work independently, without the involvement of pimps or agencies, creating a business model that is increasingly recognized.
The implications of decriminalization under initiatives such as Bill C-36 may substantially improve their safety and overall working conditions. By allowing these workers to operate more freely, potential risks can be mitigated, fostering a safer environment for this often marginalized community.
