Out of these, 26 were engaging in sex work in Ireland or had done so within the previous two years, one had moved to another country but had worked in Ireland for many years, and three were former sex workers. One sex worker told Amnesty International: “One-to-one, a woman with a man, we don’t stand a chance. We need another girl. She can hear what’s happening… But to be alone, it’s very dangerous.”
“Our research clearly shows that criminalising the purchase of sex is forcing sex workers to take more risks while penalising brothel keeping is preventing sex workers from working together to ensure their own safety.”The research also shows how the lack of trust in the police and social stigma reinforced by the criminal law are key concerns for sex workers.
Migrant sex workers’ fears of contacting the police stem from the risks they face because of their immigration status or plans to apply for Irish citizenship. O’Gorman said the Government’s review of the law represents “a vital opportunity to ensure it actually protects sex workers”.
Make it legal let them pay tax. Take it out of the back streets and brothel's. After all it's the oldest profession in the world.
Name names or walk
That sucks
The State can never ever protect girls forced into sex work in brothels from violence which is why brothels are illegal.
