The Supreme Court of Canada confirms the constitutionality of prostitution related offences

July 24, 2025

The Supreme Court of Canada in R.ย v.ย Kloubakov, 2025 SCCย 25 upheld the conviction of two men who were profiting as โ€œdriversโ€ from the exploitation of women in prostitution. The Court accepted our submission as intervener (the Womenโ€™s Equality Coalition) and quoted us on the overrepresentation of the most marginalized women, including Indigenous women as a reflection of profound sexism and sexualized colonialism.
