Read this gorgeous piece from @marinscarlett_ of @ProstitutesColl, @NationalUglyMug and @sexworkeurope about how we must frame sex workers as workers so that sex workers can enjoy the same labour rights as other workers.https://t.co/1QB139JVlS

Injectable PrEP was, in this study, 92% more effective than oral PrEP. We need to see PrEP available for sex workers in Ireland asaphttps://t.co/Nu6rCWrpsH

Oh good luck with the ombudsman! The same ones that decided it was consensual sex when a garda returned and raped a sex worker he had arrested earlier that day?https://t.co/ZZuh7d7j6b

The Review of the Operation of Part 4 of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 2017 is currently taking evidence https://t.co/es175rhDj9. However this doesn't seem to have been widely publicly advertised, which raises concerns about whether many sex workers even know it is?

A quick 🧵about the Irish @DeptJusticeIRL run human trafficking stakeholders forum. I am informed that, just as in previous years, it remains a highly exclusionary group. No sex workers or orgs welcome despite sex workers being best placed to counter trafficking into sex work.

— UglyMugs.ie Public (@UglyMugsPublic) April 7, 2022

Which more scandalous: How welcoming it is of the Magdalene orders who have so much experience in trafficking, or that they excluding sex workers, the most important group to include if they really want to combat trafficking?

— UglyMugs.ie Public (@UglyMugsPublic) April 7, 2022

This is rarely recognised as whilst sex workers and sex work orgs are busy doing this work, certain anti sex work orgs are busying themselves sending out press releases etc making out that they are doing this work, which they are not.

Thanks to the @healthdpt for hosting a useful meeting this morning where a diverse group of us could usefully share views on getting the best out of the leaving prostitution strategy. New zcard online here: https://t.co/yFxqwbxgo4

I'm extremely pleased to be presenting at this event and excited to learn more from friends and colleagues across Europe on the links between sex, sex work, race and the law.

Don't forget the power of the Internet. We have this tool today, which we can use to speak out on issues the mainstream media don't want to know about. The audiences may not always be huge, but they are there.

ICYMI: In Feb we released new research on sex work in Ireland. Laws in Ireland that were intended to protect sex workers are having the opposite effect. It’s time to destigmatise & decriminalise sex work! https://t.co/Fc2PnRNpM1#RightsForSexWorkers pic.twitter.com/IVOa8q0D3h

Marginalised people turn to sex work because they are discriminated against in society. They know what it is like to face violence because of their identities. Many sex workers are part of the LGBTQI+ community.https://t.co/jgVs1VD0Xj

Aidan Moffitt and Michael Snee were murdered in Sligo in the most horrific way, after being contacted on Grindr. Their killer specifically targeted gay men and planned to murder again.

Their funerals were today, and our thoughts are with their families.https://t.co/0NRvOvOXJe

Shouldn't be any comments about this, it's for the courts now.

Members of the LGBTQ+ community came together in vigils held in many cities in Ireland to pay tribute to the two men murdered in Sligo.https://t.co/11mSbqzBPj
