The BC Bad Date and Aggressor Reporting (BC BDAR) Project is a three-year project to create a provincially integrated bad date reporting system for sex workers.
Our Advisory teams are busy alpha testing. The feedback? Easy to use & meeting real needs.
Now we’re heading into the home stretch: a beta release later this year.

Stigma and systems of injustice, oppression, and isolation hurt us. However, we take action every day to dismantle these systems.
We light a candle today to honour those we’ve lost. We share their stories. We fight for decriminalization. We keep us safe. Safety is our right.
Web development for our system is well underway! Check out news about this and other BC BDAR updates in our most recent newsletter.

2/2. We honour those we've lost by fighting for the decriminalization of sex work, by telling our stories and breaking stigma surrounding the work we do, and by doing all we can to keep one another safe when systems fail us. Our work continues and we won’t give up the fight.
Today we light a candle for all the sex workers we've lost to systems of injustice. Racism, colonialism, transphobia, migration, criminalization, poverty, trauma, & stigma.
We don't just remember, but we honour by taking action to dismantle these unjust systems. 1/2
