Quote of the Day

Posted by Chris Spags on May 19th, 2009 at 2:00 pm

Political-types often forget the whores when planning for events, but not in Vancouver, where they’re offering them media training before the 2010 Olympics. The best part is the last quote…definitely a zoo I’d like to attend.

Vancouver sex trade workers need to know their rights when dealing with cameras and reporters and will be offered media training leading up to the 2010 Olympic Games, an advocacy group said.

The Prostitution Alternatives Counselling and Education Society (PACE) will hold the session in November.

“We just want our members to feel safe in the neighbourhood in which they live and safe to work in the neighbourhood in which they live,” said spokeswoman Kerry Porth.

“We find sometimes that media attention to the area can be a little less than compassionate and we don’t want them to feel like animals in a zoo during that time.”
