Review Of The Operation Of Part 4 Of The Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 2017
I sincerely hope that @HMcEntee sees that these manufactured reports should not be a guiding force in any decision with regard to the 2017 law. When sex workers are given the chance to voice their opinion on the so-called Nordic model they reveal this law's negative outcome.

A study carried out by 2 abolitionist entities, both subsidised by an abolitionist government, can hardly be called objective, can it?

Sex workers are workers and experts in our own lives and what it is that improve our situation.

This is the courage and decency we need to see in Ireland. It's not too late to admit you were wrong. https://t.co/3MpBHE9Thd

Anytime I say this, people come forward and volunteer and say they can handle the abuse. I 💚 that people are willing to. But I've realised I can't take that responsibility on. So thank you 💚 but no.

To clarify, as I've had some questions about this. I don't think it is impossible for volunteers/paid staff to work on projects that are very difficult and face huge hostility. But I think it would take greater skills in leadership etc than I personally have. Do it if you can!👍

What happened in 2017? We introduced the Nordic Model of client criminalisation. #DecrimForSafety

No Justice: An Alternative EU Anti-Trafficking Day Event from @UglyMugsPublic
Tue, 18 October, 09:30 Online
Focus on sex trafficking in Ireland. Speaking truth to power. Calling out state violence. Demanding justice.

Saturday night... What's that other than a work hard night? Holidays? Days of work? What are these things strange things I hear other people do??? 🤣 Sometimes I get tired-grumpy, but I never regret working so hard I have to say, I am proud I do that ✊

In case it is not clear, people in sex work are not here to be abused. We fight for decriminalisation of sex work for the human rights of sex workers, to reduce abuse, to allow for redress. Sex workers are not a special class of women that it is ok to abuse.

We call on the government and the Gardaí to stop conflating consensual sex work and trafficking so that resources could be used where they are needed most: prevention of trafficking. Ireland is failing trafficking victims!https://t.co/q0iW1MeCVq

And when will ICCL take an interest in the human rights of sex workers and victims of sex trafficking, many of whom are trans, as it seems like silence on this from you? https://t.co/KzkSBlBzGn

Thinking about https://t.co/MX6rETPZyW project today and that it opens with "We are calling on the Garda Commissioner to immediately adopt policing policy which prioritises the safety of people in sex work over enforcement."

In 2022, now thinking of that famous Assata Shakur quote: "Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them."

There are a lot of worthy causes I know, but I'll be personally donating to this and I hope others will do (if you are in a position to)

Intersex variations are still not included in RSE even though intersex children attend Irish schools. This contributes to bullying. 5/
