Sienna is joined by Kaia Sophia who reads from a mini-essay she wrote in which she muses on escorting and life. Kaia is based out of Ottawa, ON.“It’s not about empowerment and loving the work. Though many of us do love this job, not everyone does. Supporting sex workers and decriminalization is about safety, dignity, and respecting the right to make choices about our own lives even when our options are limited. Not everyone loves their jobs, but it costs money to live in this world. Sex workers deserve the right to choose their preferred form of labour and work safely.”  -KaiaKaia's Website: https://www.thekaiasophia.com/Kaia's Twitter: @TheKaiaSophiaOn Astrologyhttps://www.beliefnet.com/inspiration/astrology/eight-things-skeptics-of-astrology-dont-get.aspxhttps://horoscopes.astro-seek.com/https://www.astro.com/cgi/ade.cgi?ract=xx68747470733a2f2f7777772e617374726f2e636f6d2f6367692f63686172742e6367693f72733d3326627479703d77326777&lang=e&rs=3&btyp=w2gwOn Tarothttps://science.howstuffworks.com/science-vs-myth/extrasensory-perceptions/tarot-card.htmOn Intersectional Feminismhttps://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/emiliearies/2017/08/30/the-imperative-of-intersectional-feminism/amp/On Legislation of Sex Workhttps://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/explainers/understanding-sex-work-open-societyCriticism of United Nations Stance on Prostitutionhttps://www.google.ca/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/society/2013/sep/21/united-nations-prostitution-sex-traffickingAmnesty Resourceshttps://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2016/05/amnesty-international-publishes-policy-and-research-on-protection-of-sex-workers-rights/https://www.amnesty.ca/sites/amnesty/files/External%20FAQ%20SWP%20AICSES%20May%202016.pdfhttps://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/pol30/4062/2016/en/London, Ontario Court Case to Challenge Canada’s Prostitution Lawshttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/london-ontario-bill-c-36-prostitution-laws-1.4520736Post SESTA/FOSTAhttps://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5ad0d7d0e4b0edca2cb964d9?ncid=canada_dauCriticisms Of Anti-Trafficking Orgshttps://truthout.org/articles/special-report-money-and-lies-in-anti-human-trafficking-ngos/Canadian Alliance for Sex Work Law Reformhttps://sexworklawreform.com This is a public episode.
