Theresa May to tackle Prostitution

[willie wacker]

As far as I am aware Theresa May has always been very much pro prostituition by choice. She's always had a bee in her bonnet about slavery, and as such you can expect her to increase the penalties for trafficking. There's no way the will criminalise prostitution, politicians are our best clients.

At least she is trying to go the right way about it there and not like the clowns here

Theresa May has not be the worse and maybe she pro prostitution and good on her but she is a Politician and if pressurized by others she probably give in unfortunately. They all do.
I hope that when that happens, Michael O leary will be still doing flights to Eastern Europe for 19.99

The conservatives won't criminalise prostitution. Infact, the recent report the government commissioned recommended they wipe all convictions sex workers convicted for sex worker related offences to allow them to move on and completely decriminalise. Here, have some facts with the propaganda

Isn't criminalising the buyer the issue?

Correct
I think the new law is still status quo for the escorts

[Lucy Chambers]

"The Committee says the Home Office should immediately change existing legislation so that soliciting is no longer an offence and brothel-keeping laws allow sex workers to share premises, without losing the ability to prosecute those who use brothels to control or exploit sex workers. There must be zero tolerance of the organised criminal exploitation of sex workers.

The Home Office should also legislate to delete previous convictions and cautions for prostitution from the record of sex workers, as these records make it much more difficult for people to move out of prostitution into other forms of work if they wish to."


Exploitation and sex with a traffiked worker is already illegal

"With regards to changing the laws on buying sex, this inquiry will continue. The Committee will be seeking further evidence on the impacts of the recently introduced sex buyer laws in Northern Ireland and France, and the model of regulation used in for example New Zealand, to make a better assessment for its final report. The laws on prostitution need ultimately to be reconsidered in the round, not least to give the police much more clarity on where their priorities should lie and how to tackle the exploitation and trafficking associated with the sex industry.

Trafficking for the purposes of sexual exploitation is an important and separate issue from prostitution involving consenting adults. It is too early to assess the impact of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 on levels of trafficking, but the Crown Prosecution Service identified 248 victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation in the first three months of the Act's operation"

That was my point. It was never about making the sex worker the criminal. Previously they have looked into making the client the criminal. I don't understand why go into the sex worker side of things, when we're not in the firing line and never were.
