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
Press release:
Government need to face facts and decriminalise sex work for our safety. We all deserve to work in safety, access health services and paths to justice.

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

The referendum on abortion last years shows us that we can be a better Ireland. We can be a more compassionate and caring Ireland.
Part of that is decriminalising sex work, so sex workers can live in dignity, in safety and without stigma

Since the enactment of the 2017 law, sex workers are less safe. Violent crime against sex workers has increased by 92% in the past 2 years #DecrimForSafety #SupportSafeSexWork

We deserve to be safe but instead of decreasing demand the laws have created a buyers market, where the purchasers of sex hold the power. This in direct opposition to what we were told was the intention of the law #DecrimForSafety #SupportSafeSexWork

Sex workers are not decriminalised. The penalties of sex workers sharing premises together, also known as brothel keeping, has doubled since the introduction of the new Sexual Offences Bill in 2017 #DecrimForSafety #SupportSafeSexWork

Sex workers are now forced to work in isolation, which puts them at further risk of violence and exploitation. Since the law has been introduced many more sex workers have been arrested than clients #DecrimForSafety #SupportSafeSexWork

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of our friend Jon Hanna. Jon's work and leadership on so many issues that affect our LGBT+ family and wider Irish society played a huge role in helping to make Ireland better. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.

So very sad to hear about the loss of this great young man. I glad he no longer has to fight his demons but really wish he was still here to fight ours. R.I.P. Xx

Jon took on every fight for all of us for no other reason then it was the right thing to do. A beautiful human being .

Protest isn't supposed to be convenient.
You know what's really inconvenient?
Surviving on the streets, walking past empty gaffs going empty out of greed. Listening to politicians wring their hands while being landlords themselves.

Housing is a human right.
Lack of accessible, affordable homes has forced thousands of young disabled people into nursing homes.
This can't go on.

#TakeBackTheCity Welcome to the new police commissioner Drew Harris.
Business as usual. Cops protecting thugs protecting property speculators sitting on empty houses, while we have the largest number of homeless children since the state came into existence.
Pure sickening.
