In this essay, we will be unpacking the legal, and thereby inherently social, conditions which breed discrimination against local street sex work. Our essay argues how these factors fuelled challenges within the COVID-19 climate, and through our feminist analysis, sheds light on the lack of research on many marginalized groups. In addition, we will be including a call to action to amplify the needs of local street sex workers, particularly the needs of our local Indigenous sex worker population.
