Ruhama

Ladies

Why not email Ruhama admin@ruhama.ie and ask them where you, the independent sex worker by choice fit into their agenda. I'm going to do just that. They need to have pressure put on them. Soon, the Collective Voice will be up and running on all our behalf and Ruhama will be vehemently and relentlessly challenged in the media by the voice of sex workers.

Won't do any harm to make a start now, will it.

This is what they claim on their website:
Ruhama is a Dublin-based NGO which works on a national level with women affected by prostitution. Our service is comprehensive to meet the broad range of experiences of women affected by prostitution.

Independent escorts and their needs shouldn't be outside their 'broad range' Let's ask them where we fit in.

Finally, you Ladies are going to use your powers (the magical ones too I hope) Certainly from the conference in Dublin the energy, intensity and voice of independent escorts could be felt and is something which needs to be supported in securing what you need.

Good morning,
If they think they can stop Gentlemen enjoy ladys companionship, then they gonna put to prison 100000 people.
If they think they can stop girls to enjoy time with Gentlemen even if they paymoney for that, then 1000 girls put to prison.
Have a good day everybody!!!
(In mine own opinion the biggest problem for somebody is this website, couse somebody make a good money and somebody very high wana shut down this site)

Nobody is going to put in prison that amount of people. It is not possible. Did you know the prisons are full??
Is no intention to make it illegal for the escorts, therefore none will be put in court...
As for E-I, or any website advertising escorts, how do you think it will shut down? Not a single ad on the site? Again, impossible ..
We are posting about the police lack of resources , guys who will still see ladies and ads will be up no matter what law will be , seems you miss those posts..

That was Vanessa's point. They won't be putting 1000's of men in prison, it's an empty threat and not the real target.

Ruhama talks about a huge amount of women affected by prostitution and their deeply care about women involved in the game.
Working forced or on free will, makes no difference to them , is the man they want to go after with the pretext the majority are trafficked and not indies.
One of Ruhama ladies told me to sacrifice my work for those who are forced to work and she couldnt understand how can I accept having sex without "love" ...!

It is a bit dangerous to play sarcastic games when comes to this law. People are easy to scare in Ireland and no need for numbers and again, sarcastic posts...
Lets be positive and realistic please.

Let girls pay taxs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let everybody work to make Ireland economy stronger!!!!!!!

I think this is a bloody excellent idea - and I have another idea to go with it. Why not email TDs and ministers and ask for a full Value for Money Audit of Ruhama, ICI and any other TORL orgs you feel are putting the taxpayers money (and most sex workers are taxpayers too remind them of that) to questionable use or obtaining it under false pretences?

NB, when they were asking for that funding I very much doubt if their stated purpose was to lobby against the stated wishes and best interests of sex workers. Also, some of at least Ruhama's funding used to be (up to 2009, not sure any more) inclusion specific, and I don't think Ruhama have EVER included sex workers at all, on any level. If you or I tried that one on it would be called "fraud".
