John Swinney, if you want to hear the truth, then listen to a survivor who has devoted her life to end the abusive and violent scourge of prostitution.

"powers to regulate the internet are reserved" is not a good enough response from @scotgov to industrial-scale sex trafficking in Scotland. As @tracygilbert72 says, these sites should be investigated *now* under Scotland's human trafficking law. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scott…

Exclusive - a prostitution survivor has accused the Scottish Government of siding with pimps and groomers after voting against Ash Regan's unbuyable bill. @TheScotsman 👇 scotsman.com/news/politics/p… – at Perth, Scotland

I commend @AshReganMSP on her impressive campaign to pass a human rights centered and evidence based bill to address demand for sexual acts and better protect the women and girls that are victims of prostitution. While the bill did not pass, the fact that she got as far as she got and that so many MSPs voted for it is an achievement. It is no longer a taboo to advocate for an abolitionist framework.
Shame on the 64 MSPs who voted against this Bill and to continue the violence and abuse of women and girls. Shame on the SNP! Shame on Scotland. ** Vote 54 FOR 64 AGAINST ** 😳🥲

We love you for standing with us and fighting with such determination to tell the truth about the realities of prostitution and the way forward by not criminalising victims, but instead addressing demand & finally holding perpetrators to account. #EndDemand
