10 CITY BLOCKS: Survival Sex Trade in the Downtown East Side

For women working the sex trade in Vancouver's notorious downtown east side, a "bad date", has nothing to do with awkward conversation or a lack of chemistry. Living in a world that most of us know little about, six survival sex trade workers share their struggles with addiction, mental and physical health concerns, and the fear of violent assault, through gritty and often shocking, candid interviews. Knowledgeable commentary and strategies for improvement are provided by, NDP member of parliament for East Vancouver, Libby Davies; retired VPD constable and outreach worker, Dave Dickson and Simon Fraser criminology researcher, Kelly Bohl. www.10cityblocks.blogspot.com
