Statement: A travelling sex worker

English Collective of Prostitutes Latest News, Sex workers speak out

“I was fed up of being a cleaner, bar maid and shop assistant, often all on the same day. Prostitution is certainly not the worst job I have ever had. I have worked on the fish market and as a cleaner where I was working for people who didn’t care if we were cold or tired or how we were spoken to. I would like to share a flat with another women but we know that we risk being prosecuted. Working on your own is so much more dangerous plus it is harder to afford the bills so you have to see punters who you’d normally cross the road to avoid.”

Statement: Convicted as a “trafficker” Statement: Bill banning advertising will undermine sex workers’ safety
