The Equalizer

GARDAÍ IN NORTH Dublin are tackling what they believe is the highest concentration of sex workers in Europe operating out of half a dozen apartment blocks in Santry.
Knowing how "tackling" this industry is tackled in Ireland (applicable to both Escorts and Clients alike), I would urge all to keep their wits about them.

The Immigrant Council of Ireland along with prostitution support group Ruhama estimate that there are between 800-1000 women available to buy for sex nationwide at any one time.
When you visit an Escort, you do not "buy" the Escort. The above bolden underlined statement says alot more about the opinions of Ruhama and Immigrant Council of Ireland if that is their opinion of Escorts and Clients.

Ruhama has long advocated for legislation to focus on the demand of sex buyers as a key measure to curb expansion of the exploitative sex trade here.
The organisation has also advocated for many years for the repealing of the offence for soliciting for prostitution to give the clear social message that no person should be criminalised for their own exploitation.
Anyone who knows anything about how Ruhama "help" those who find themselves in the "care" of Ruhama can see that the above bolden statement has more holes than a colander

Everybody, keep safe

Honestly Ruhama did nothing for sex workers that’s a fact, to them we are nothing more than objects.

"Paddy, we have reports of IRA terrorists stock-piling weapons and they are going to launch an attack on the police soon."

"Fuck that, Murphy. Did you see that guy over there? He walked into an apartment where a girl from Escort Ireland is staying. We need to arrest him instead."

Legalization would help to eliminate trafficking, Simply put Escorts and Clients would not be afraid to contact the police to report suspicions to be investigated!!

Sex Workers want Decriminilisation, not legalisation.

I'd imagine they'd love legalisation but realize that its a bridge too far realistically,especially in this
country and thus are aiming for a more achievable goal.

NO!

They want Decriminilisation, not legalisation.

https://www.opensocietyfoundations.o...lize-sex-work:
"Decriminalization refers to the removal of all criminal and administrative prohibitions and penalties on sex work, including laws targeting clients and brothel owners.
It differs from legalization, which is a legislative regime characterized by significant regulations—many of which can limit rights and protections, create mechanisms for abuse by authorities, and have other negative impacts on sex workers. New Zealand and New South Wales, Australia are two jurisdictions known for their decriminalized sex industries.

Decriminalization goes hand-in-hand with recognizing sex work as work and protecting the rights of sex workers through labor law, and workplace health and safety regulations. When sex work is decriminalized, sex workers can press for safer working conditions and use the justice system to seek redress for discrimination and abuse.4 Sex workers are more likely to live without stigma, social exclusion, or fear of violence. Even where sex work is decriminalized, the prostitution of minors and human trafficking can and should remain criminal acts."
