Many of the numbers used by Ruhama have been discredited. An academic study regarding sex workers in Northern Ireland indicated that less than 2% of sex workers had been forced to do it by someone else, and less than 1% wanted clients to be criminalised.
You implied that eradicating prostitution is a noble goal, but there's no reason why it should be. If someone chooses to sell sex, and someone else chooses to buy it, then that's a private matter between consenting adults.

It's a private matter without doubt. But maybe that organization looks at the root of why the woman is in that position.
Do you believe that a woman decides to be a sex worker as a beneficial career choice or there are circumstances in her life that are forcing her into the decision she has made.
If she is forced by circumstances, is it not good that there is an organization out there that has the women's backs.
What exactly do Ruhama do for a woman to take her away from prostitution. Are they actively helpful or what's the story.
I'm going to pm GOSHH because they are impartial I would imagine.

This applies to anyone who is in a job they're not happy with. What, are you going to provide funding to allow every single person who isn't satisfied with their job to move on to something else? Who's going to pay for that... you?
This is the thing; they're not there to help the women. Ruhama is mostly concerned with the men who buy sex, and trying to put men into prison. They don't give a shit about what happens to the women.If she is forced by circumstances, is it not good that there is an organization out there that has the women's backs.
With regards to the criminalisation of clients, when Ruhama is asked about the women who want to sell sex, they simply say that those women will have to move on and find a different job than sellling sex. So that should tell you everything about their attitude towards the well-being of the women.
