Although prostitution is not just about Aboriginal people, Aboriginal women are particularly affected. They prostitute themselves to pay their rent, but also for their own consumption and often also that of their spouses. They also suffer a lot of abuse from customers who fled without paying, abuse them, etc.. Most often, they do not report these abuses, lack of esteem and considering they are not taken seriously by the authorities. Confirming the results of the study, conducted a police operation last year in Val-d'Or led to the arrest of 28 prostitutes, 21 were indigenous.
