The BC Bad Date and Aggressor Reporting (BC BDAR) Project is a three-year project to create a province-wide bad date reporting system for sex workers across BC. While multiple local bad date reporting systems exist in places like Vancouver, Victoria, Kamloops, and Prince George, these systems aren’t linked together. Most communities in BC, especially those in rural and remote areas, do not have bad date reporting. The BC BDAR project will build a tool that incorporates all communities and sectors of sex workers in BC.
A “bad date” is anything that a sex worker doesn’t want themselves or others to experience. A bad date reporting system is a peer-led network where sex workers anonymously share reports about bad dates with each other so they can make informed decisions in taking new clients.
The intent of this survey is to get a sense of what organizations are supporting sex workers in the province and if they are providing bad date reporting in their communities. We hope this will help us address potential gaps in our knowledge of sex work support and better establish our network of organizations that would like to be involved in the BC BDAR project.
