@DrIreneZempi @BriannaGLewis @WarrCriminology @belinda_winder @ntu_research @NTUSocSciences huge congrats!

[National Ugly Mugs @NationalUglyMug]

Grateful to @ScotParl for taking our concern of bias in Ash Regan's public consultation process seriously & extending the deadline to 30 Sept. The Nordic Model is contested, requiring insight from a broad range of #sexworkers, scholars & practitioners.

Why doesn’t (added: mainstream) feminism extend to #sexworkers? https://t.co/tEr7I90gwE via @georgiastraight

Please share widely.

[Sex Workers’ Union @swunion_uk]

Yet another article from the Morning Star using the deaths of sex workers to advocate for a criminalised regulatory framework that only inflicts more violence on sex workers.

Sex workers need decriminalisation for our safety - not further criminalisation, not legalisation.

[DecrimNow @ukdecrimnow]

The criminalisation of sex work puts sex workers in danger.

It is against the law for sex workers in the U.K. to work together for safety.

Sex workers need decriminalisation & we need it now.

[Sex Workers’ Union @swunion_uk]

Criminalising sex workers does nothing but harm.

Realistically, what does this achieve? Is this worker any safer with criminalisation? No, obviously not.

Carceral policies surrounding sex work only serve to punish and inflict violence upon sex workers.

1/2 SWers shouldn’t have to appeal to being “empowered”before they can ask for workers rights that protect them & their safety. Choosing to enter SW or entering SW due to survival are both as equally valid & both involve humans who deserve rights.

[Marin Scarlett @marinscarlett_]

Swedish Model. Nordic Model. Equality Model.

We know that client criminalisation is an abject failure - & so do they. Hence the constant rebranding.

It's a front to disguise that this has been repeatedly proven to damage SW safety, health & efforts to reduce trafficking.

@lindarella Hiya Linda,
No problem, all done! Look forward to hearing from you :)

[Sex Workers’ Union @swunion_uk]

Let’s talk about censorship! For a long time, sex workers have struggled against deplatforming in an industry that requires an increasing online presence. Our Instagram accounts are blocked for even just being a sex worker, even if we are not necessarily posting explicit content.

[Daisy Matthews @Daisy_May2020]

@BriannaGLewis @NTUDoctoral @ntu_research Thank you Brianna and thank so much for all your help!
