Introduce: ‘The Sex Workers Discrimination Act'

Closed 55 signatures

What the petition asks

Introduce new laws for sex workers that supports them to have equal opportunities for housing, banking and employment. Stop the discrimination.
Sex workers are often hugely discriminated against. We want the Government to take action to give sex workers equal opportunities and stop them being pushed into the shadows. Discrimination only makes sex workers more vulnerable and can help traffickers, rogue clients and rogue agencies to flourish. Those who discriminate and shame are part of the problem. This industry is not going anywhere especially considering the cost of living crisis. It’s time sex workers were better accepted by society.
