Testimony 16

I am a street social worker – I work with the homeless population of Montreal. I often have to interact with the police. This can be for things like; my client needs to go to the police station, file a report, is being arrested, needs accompaniment, camping dismantling. I also interact with private security guards on a daily basis – in shopping malls, around universities, and in businesses. The reason we interact is usually due to profiling! As a woman… my interactions are very different. The women I work with also have very different interactions.
