MYTH

GERMANY HAS DECRIMINALISATION OF SEX WORK

THE UNBUYABLE BILL WILL DECRIMINALISE THE SALE OF SEX

SEX WORKERS WOULD BE SAFER UNDER THE NORDIC MODEL

SEX WORK IS VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS

THE NORDIC MODEL TACKLES TRAFFICKING

"SEX WORK" IS NOT A NEUTRAL TERM, WE SHOULD USE THE TERM PROSTITUTE

SEX WORK IS RAPE

DECRIM HASN'T WORKED

THE NORDIC MODEL WILL HELP SEX WORKERS WHO WANT TO EXIT THE INDUSTRY

FACT

GERMANY HAS A FORM OF LEGALISATION WHICH IS HARMFUL TO WOMEN IN POVERTY.

MIGRANT WOMEN ARE ARRESTED MORE THAN CLIENTS IN NORDIC MODEL COUNTRIES

VIOLENCE AGAINST SEX WORKERS HAS RISEN IN NORDIC MODEL COUNTRIES, 10 SEX WORKERS WERE MURDERED IN FRANCE IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF THE NORDIC MODEL

SEX WORK IS NOT INHERENTLY VIOLENT, AND VIOLENCE DECREASES WHEN SEX WORKERS HAVE MORE RIGHTS AND WHEN YOU DECREASE STIGMA

STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT THE NORDIC MODEL IS NOT AN EFFECTIVE ANTI EXPLOITATION LAW

THE WORD PROSTITUTE IS A SLUR AND INCREASES THE STIGMA, SEX WORK IS NOT LIKE OTHER WORK, BUT SEX WORKERS DESERVE WORKERS RIGHTS.

SEX WORKERS DISCUSS BOUNDARIES AND LIMITS WITH CLIENTS AND CAN REVOKE CONSENT AT ANY TIME, IF ASH REGAN THINKS SEX WORK IS RAPE - WHY IS THE FINE £10K AND WHY IS THE MAXIMUM JAIL SENTENCE 6 MONTHS?

VIOLENCE HAS DECREASED IN NEW ZEALAND, SEX WORKERS HAVE BETTER RELATIONS WITH POLICE, THERE HAS BEEN A REDUCTION IN STIGMA AND SEX WORKERS HAVE BETTER ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES

IF ASH REGAN WANTS PEOPLE TO STOP DOING SEX WORK, SHE SHOULD PUSH FOR ANTI POVERTY MEASURES SUCH AS RENT CAPS, AFFORDABLE CHILDCARE, A HIGHER MINIMUM WAGE, BETTER BENEFITS FOR THE DISABLED, BETTER ADDICTION SERVICES AND BETTER MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE DOING SEX WORK WHO HAD LESS CHOICE THAN OTHERS, IS A FAILURE BY THE GOVERNMENT.

AND

SEX WORKERS IN NORWAY WERE EVICTED FROM THEIR HOMES UNDER OPERATION HOMELESS WHERE THE GOVERNMENT THREATENED TO ARREST LANDLORDS OF SEX WORKERS, MAKING SEX WORKERS HOMELESS

NO REVOLUTION WITHOUT
TRANS LIBERATION

DECRIMINALISE SEX WORK NOW
