B U M P -- Girls !!
..as per JMastodon : ONLY 45 RESPONSES TO SURVEY FROM ESCORTS:
Email from Dr Susann Huschke on 18th June 2014:
Dear gentlemen,
First of all: thank you for your support for our study thus far! Generally, it is going well, and I am confident that we'll be able to deliver a good piece of research later this year. The online client survey is looking great (about 150 responses, which means we have enough to draw sensible conclusions from it).
However, the online survey for sex workers is causing me headaches. There are comparably few responses (only 45 so far), and pretty much no responses in the foreign-language surveys. Where are all the escorts/sex workers, and why are they reluctant to take part?
I would be very grateful if you could help me promote the survey. Please inform the escorts you know about the survey, and please let me know if you have any suggestions how to get more responses, particularly for the foreign-language surveys (see info below).
Thank you!!
-susann

STUDY ON PROSTITUTION
Who are we?
We are a team of researchers based at Queen’s University Belfast and at the National University of Ireland in Galway. Most of the interviews will be undertaken by Susann Huschke. If you would prefer to be interviewed by a male researcher, this can be arranged.
What is this about?
We are doing research on the sex industry in Northern Ireland. The project was commissioned by the Department of Justice and aims to provide a detailed understanding of the sex industry (i.e. who sells which services where and why, and to whom). The findings from the study may be used to inform policy and debate within Northern Ireland.
What’s in it for you?
You will not be paid to participate in this research project. The interviews are important in terms of informing debate and giving voice to those who sell and pay for sex. This is an opportunity for you to have your voice, experience and issues heard. You are free to not answer questions that make you uncomfortable, and to withdraw from the study at any stage (we will then not use the interview in any material that we produce).
How can you help?
We are doing two things: (1) face-to-face interviews, both with sex workers and clients, and (2) an anonymous online survey. To fill out the online survey, you do not need to be based in Northern Ireland! Elsewhere in the UK and the Republic of Ireland is OK, too.
(1) All interviews are anonymous and confidential. We don’t need to know your real name. If we use quotes or information from the interview in the report we will write, they will be anonymized so that that your are not identified.
(2) The SURVEY FOR SEX WORKERS/ESCORTS is available in English and 9 other languages here:

Both the interviews and the survey are essential and important parts of the study, if you are interested in taking part in one or the other, or both, or if you have any further questions, please contact us via email:
