CONCLUSIONIf you truly believe in Occupational Health and Safety

for Sex Workers, and you are not a Sex Worker, then at

the next conference you need to bring sex workers

from your local community so that sex workers can

network and learn. Only sex workers can implement

Occupational Health and Safety. Everything else is the

cheer squad!
