Thread on why we need to decriminalise #sexwork in #Ireland by @SWAIIreland and protect vulnerable people rather than blindly follow ideology that is causing real life harm to people in sex work. #DecrimForSafety #SupportSafeSexWork

[Danielle Roberts @DaniRNI]

Today is the 2 year anniversary of the Nordic Model becoming active in the South. This law makes sex workers less safe. It actually pushes those it purports to help further from support services. We have similar law in NI. Follow @SWAIIreland #DecrimforSafety #SupportSafeSexWork

1/ "Over 15 years have passed since the introduction of the model in Sweden and there has yet to be any credible evidence that it has been successful in its aims.

[Radical Queers Resist @RadQueersResist]

Serious consideration must be given to following the example set by [NZ] of listening to the collective voice of sex workers, as raised by the [SWAI] and as raised by the global collective of sex workers in Brussels in 2005, to grant them visibility, legitimacy and protection."
