Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
That isn't in our charter. That was statement made by a Judge on the Supreme Court.
Source: The Charter of Rights and Freedoms - the word prostitute doesn't appear anywhere.
What is in the Charter is the right to safety and that seems to be what the defendants are arguing. That the prohibition is creating a safety issue and is therefore a Charter violation.
