we've just answered the scottish government consultation on sex work; have you?
you don't need to be based in scotland or the uk!
you have until december 10!
decriminalisation now!!
The Equally Safe consultation is another push towards criminalising clients, which is very concerning for sex workers in Scotland.
Please respond to the consultation before 10 Dec, you can use our guidance here to help: scot-pep.org.uk/consultation #NotEqualNotSafe

Thank you to everyone who has campaigned for period dignity and to my MSP colleagues for backing the Bill tonight.
A proud day for Scotland and a signal to the world that free universal access to period products can be achieved. #freeperiodproducts 🏴
The Period Products (Free Provision) (Scotland) Bill has been passed unanimously by MSPs this evening.
