The majority of escorts, are working of their own free will. As abhorrent as some of the general public might find this or struggle to accept this, no one forced us to work as escorts. We choose to work as escorts. This is our chosen line of employment. We are not all drug dependent, vulnerable individuals who need rescuing, many escorts are well balanced, educated women. The problem is that there is a certain factor of society who disregard the opinions of sex workers & don't want to listen to both sides of this argument, this was very evident in the run up to the introduction of this law, this sector of the public are brain washed by the unsubstantiated claims bandied about by Ruhama. Research opposing the law & findings/concerns put forward by SWAI & other organisations supporting sex workers, was dismissed & side lined during the discussions before the introduction of the new law.
