Most people believe sex workers should not be
criminalised and do not
consider paying for sex an offence. Poverty and debt,
major factors in
driving women into prostitution, are major issues for
millions of us.
Yet
cuts to our survival benefits and services as well as
unequal pay
continue
side by side with billions in unrestrained military
spending.
The consultation paper appears to target men (the
demand), rather
than
women and children (the suppliers), appealing to
many womens dislike
of
the sex industry.
But given the punitive approach the UK government has
adopted,
following
the US lead of bullying in civil liberties and
criminal justice issues,
women and young people can expect the worst:
l more Anti-Social Behaviour Orders landing more of us
in prison;
l more deportations under the guise of cracking down
on trafficking;
l higher prison sentences for women working from
premises;
l military style boot camps, with an eventual army
job, for wayward
children as young as six.
In other words, criminalisation or militarisation for
most of us!
It is time to stand united against our being divided
between those of
us
labelled bad and those labelled respectable. No
bad women, no bad
children, just bad laws!
Entrance: institutions £30; high waged £10; waged
