A very good and very honest article. Probably the greatest problem for sex workers is the stigma attached. Apparently providing pleasure for money is unacceptable, particularly to many feminists and religionists. Yet many sex workers feel positively empowered by their work and most are there entirely through choice.
As evidenced in the article, the financial rewards can be considerable, infinitely more than minimum wage work or living on benefits. Sex work most certainly isn't for everyone, but sex workers should have the same choices, rights and legal protections as any other area of employment.
2014 in Northern Ireland:
Number of reported attacks on sex workers 70
Number of sex trafficking cases ZERO
