Austerity pushing women into sex work and criminalisation is endangering them. In England —a country with free health care and a host of social services. Johns in jail. Janes full your boots.

I saw this article a few days ago and wondered why it made no mention of men facing austerity and issues with their support payments.

Any report from Bristol University on gender related issues is propaganda.

“We see a lot of women who have suffered violence at the hands of male clients or male thugs who break into the premises where they are working. They are scared of reporting to the police due to the fear of going to prison.”

Sooo... you’re engaging in an illegal activity that is responsible for the spread of STDs, drug use, and puts you at general risk due to the line of work, and you think making it legal will fix this?

EDIT: I’m liking the replies on this so far. I can see the argument where legalizing (and thus regulating it) may make it safer. Trick of course, will be how “lucrative” it is once the government takes their cut afterwards.
