SEX workers protested outside Canada's top court Thursday as it heard arguments in support of a lower court ruling that quashed portions of a law that banned brothels.
Some 100 supporters of the three women waging the landmark legal fight waved placards outside the Supreme Court that read: "Can we get some love for sex workers!"
"This case is about the right of people in a legal occupation being able to work in safety and equality," former prostitute and co-plaintiff Valerie Scott told the crowd.
A lower court called for the right to open brothels to provide a safer environment for prostitutes.
