Stick Together In These Times

Should nt we?. Lots of forum users leaving, self banned. A few others looking for attention maybe. As Stephanie said. The forums are important to many here. We dont all have to agree with each other. There are alot of thoughtful people on the forums and it can be seen. After all, before everything thats happened recently, we are a minority either way.

I like your sentiments.
But if this situation ever does pass, I think it won't be forgotten by ruhama and all those anti- sex work re escorts advertising and clients reviewing during this crisis. It will be a big stick to wave the next time law reform comes up.

You have a point . I just have to look at the news and see people dying everyday and that makes my mind up for me. Maybe its not so easy for others.

Well said Beemer, I agree with everything you say, for a change.

I doubt they would go with that arguement.
It's too easy to counter with calls to legalize or
decriminalize so economic/emergency support could be availed of in similar incidences

That's a good point. But sensible calls to think of escort safety by allowing two or more to work together went unheeded the last time the law was reviewed.
Every argument has a counter argument as you say, but for sure I think the actions right now won't go unnoticed or unremarked upon.

They'll cherry pick the stats that suit them and ignore the ones that don't, like they always do.

Perhaps,but its an argument that could be used by either side.
I doubt many groups like ruhama would want to be seen directly attacking sexworkers
It might interupt their government cash flow.

Its more likely you'll see it being used on here afterwards

This is the narrative that needs to be told, attacking a sex worker who cannot avail of government supports, who cannot fly home, who have rent and bills to pay, has no choice but to work and I am not talking just about sex workers on E-I, students who came here to study English, who paid their school, paid for their GNIB, they have to work, Ruhama to attack sex workers would be abhorrent and disgusting

Exactly why i think they wouldn't.
They wouldn't like to loose the popular public opinion

(i realise now i'm repeating myself so i'll shut up!)
