Do brothels make prostitution safer?

 

Christine Barkhouse burst into tears when she heard that the Ontario Court of Appeal had ruled brothels were legal. 

She started in the sex trade in Toronto at age 11.

Today, at age 25, she works for Sex Trade 101, a group that describes itself as Toronto's only "exit organization".

Christine is pictured here confronting Terri-Jean Bedford, a Toronto dominatrix after Bedford won her case before the Appeal Court.
