Community of Practice

Learning, together.

Join our Community of Practice to engage in sustainable advocacy; policy reform; addressing stigma; and creating change to increase safety and options for peers in the Yukon.

What's involved in joining the SWAPY Community of Practice?

  • updates with the latest information and news from SWAPY and our allied networks, such as the Canadian Alliance for Sex Work Law Reform, BC Bad Date & Aggressor Reporting Project and the Global Network of Sex Work Projects

  • assessment & feedback from peers about your organization's accessibility to peers

  • sharing updates & recommendations on emerging practices/policies & language for supporting peers, researched by the YSWC and vetted by people with lived experiences

  • prioritized access to training opportunities for effectively supporting peers in our communities

  • participation in a supportive environment to work to collectively address stigma; amplify, support and learn from peer voices; develop a network of support for social service providers to sustain their ongoing work to be allies; and to advocate for sex work law reform to reduce harm against people who work in the sex industry
