"The Government-backed study from UCD has found that the country's sex trade is mainly made up of young and vulnerable migrant women with poor English, who have only recently travelled to the State.

The trade is causing “untold harm and misery” to those caught up in it, according to the study carried out by the Sexual Exploitation Research Programme at the university."


The language used throughout this article is highly critical and pejorative. Nothing new there. Interesting that its a government sponsored study, as it may be used to inform govt thinking on the subject.

Likely research was an Irish times poll

If the government is paying for it, it will reflect government thinking.

The upcoming review is now a foregone conclusion regardless of any of the overwhelming evidence that the sex worker hating law has been a disaster which was even flagged before it's introduction!
I would predict more severe penalties for punters as a likely change!

The report was done by (SERP), Independent feminist research on all forms of commercial sexual exploitation. The Sexual Exploitation Research Programme (SERP) at University College Dublin. And funded by the Department of Justice, Many of them at SERP would be radical feminists, Very pro-Swedish model, etc, a foregone conclusion

Disgraceful that such a Programme would get funding at a university thought of as reputable. If you read the mission statement of the group, they do not even pretend to be doing unbiased research, but make it clear that they are feminist campaigners.

Google the author. Ex Ruhama staff, says it all really

I've a research programme ongoing that is also funded by the Department of Justice.

and are you surprised, it was always going to happen,
the sex worker does not matter sadly, no one want to listen. there's some great ladies out there trying to make a change for the better and no more can they do

Trafficking out of control, Ireland's the worst, England has got bad too but its bad all over Europe,

Really feel for the Independent lady who works hard and makes the changes, punters need to wise up a lot more too

I would love to know what indicates this?
It's not as if Eastern European, African or Asian women are retarded!
It certainly exists in the minds of TV scriptwriters and researchers who are blinkered deliberately for sure!
But please let us know it as you see it!
BTW The penalty for coercion in this area should be life for a pimp!
