What is the research?
The Centre for Gender and S*xual Health Equity is doing research on the health and safety of men (cisgender and transgender), non-binary, and Two-Spirit people in the s3x industry in Metro Vancouver. We want to know about issues you face doing SW and how current SW laws have impacted you. Our goal is to
help inform programs and polices that support men in the s3x industry.

What does it involve?
A confidential in-depth interview lasting 1-2 hours, in person, over the phone, or online. You will receive a $40 honorarium in appreciation of your time and expertise

Who can participate?
We are interested in talking to men, non-binary, and Two-Spirit people who have sold s3x in the past 6 months or who have exchanged s3x for food, shelter, or drugs in the past 6 months.
