Maggie's: The Toronto Sex Workers Action Project is an organization run for and by local sex workers. Our mission is to assist sex workers in our efforts to live and work with safety and dignity. We are founded on the belief that in order to improve our circumstances, sex workers must control our own lives and destinies.

D'abord, mon nom spirituel est Mnido Giizis Ogichidaa : Esprit Lune Gardien-ne.

J'ai reçu un message durant un de mes jeûnes,

que beaucoup trop de coeurs de femmes gisent au sol,

et que la mort d'une nation est quand les coeurs de nos femmes gisent au sol.

Et peu après ce jeûne, j'ai pu prendre la parole au parlement canadien,

pour débattre des lois sur le travail du sexe.
