The Sex Workers Advisory Network of Sudbury — or SWANS for short — is working with community arts group Myths and Mirrors on the “Storybox” project with the hope of changing people’s perception of sex trade workers.
A lot of women involved in sex work have a hard time talking about it with others, said Tracy Gregory, who is with Réseau ACCESS Network and who also has experience in the sex trade.
“The sharing that has happened since we started working on these boxes is really a gift, in terms of women sharing their experiences with service providers, their experiences with their families, their own children.”
