Stella, l’amie de Maimie is 25 years old!

It took a movement of sex workers to build Stella and it has taken a movement and many different generations of sex workers to maintain it. Since our birth in 1995, Stella has been a source and symbol of strength, creativity, resilience and community for sex workers in Montreal and those passing through the city.

Despite several attempts of nay-sayers to invisibilize sex work from the city, sex worker rights organizations run by and for sex workers – like Stella – ensure a space and voice for the respect for the rights of people working in the sex industry and those selling and trading sex.

Join us for a year-long series of celebrations, education, and community building as we take our city by storm and remind the world of our rightful place in this city: sex workers are here and we are not going anywhere.

Long live Stella! Happy Birthday!

Live, from Stella’s 25th…
