The rise of neoliberalism and unrestrained capitalism has given rise to the expansion of the sex trade and a lack of material analysis in academia props it up.

1/6 Naisten rintama ry kannattaa Naisjärjestöjen keskusliiton hallitusohjelmatavoitetta: "Seksin osto kriminalisoidaan muiden Pohjoismaiden mallin mukaisesti ja tuetaan irrottautumista prostituutiosta." @tasaarvoTANE @NytkisRy @naisjarjestot @riikkamarip
2/6 Tässä esimerkiksi @exit_ry tärkeä kannanotto prostituutiokysymyksen yhteiskunnallisesta luonteesta ja pohjoismaisen lainsäädäntömallin käyttöön ottamisen hyödyistä. @tasaarvoTANE @NytkisRy @naisjarjestot @riikkamarip exitry.fi/prostituutio-o…
3/6 Prostituutiota käsitellään usein yksilönvalinnan näkökulmasta. Kyseessä on kuitenkin yhteiskunnallinen ongelma, joka koskettaa erityisesti haavoittuvassa asemassa olevia, kuten naisia ja etnisiä vähemmistöjä, joilla ei usein ole mahdollisuutta valita vapaasti.
Coercive interventions like #EndDemand and #NordicModel are knee jerk reaction policies that are not sound economic or social policies and continue to perpetuate stigma, discrimination and increase exploitation and violence. #ListenToSexWorkers and include them in MEANINGFUL ways
Meaningful involvement is not performative. It is not an afterthought. It means including us before you start, while you develop and as you implement programs that affect our lives. And INSIST on having #SexWorkers evaluate the success in an ongoing plan.
Our community is packed with a variety of lived experiences & we will share these experiences to help you reduce exploitation and violence. Come with an open heart and a willingness to listen and learn the logical way to meet needs of the people who need good policies the mostly
Where to even start with this?

This tweet overlooks the role the gardaí play in state violence against sex workers in terms of evictions, jailing and deportation.

This overlooks the role gardaí play brothel-keeping law enforcement. Work together for safety? Go to prison, have your earnings seized and given to a religious NGO. Have a partner or husband? They may go to jail for “living off earnings” of a SW. & you’re getting evicted.

Sources against the sex industry: a master thread
How “sex work” affects/harms all women by legitimizing male violence and devaluing sexual abuse 🙃

If we learn one thing from the #Covid19 crisis, I beg you, let it be an understanding that #prostitution born of poverty can be just as coercive as when a #pimp is breathing down a woman's neck. Many women right now stuck in brothels exposed to disproportional health risks.
#Prostitution always has been exceptionally dangerous and detrimental to women's physical and mental health, because of the men who profit from the industry and make use of it. #Covid19 just makes this so obvious, even the pro lobby is acknowledging women are stuck & in danger.
We're having an overdue discussion on predatory landlords right now, as many people fear evictions during #Covid19. What is every tenants worst nightmare, is the everyday reality of many women in #prostitution: You have to be sexually availble to feed, clothe and house yourself.
If you want to know about the on the ground implementation of the #NordicModel in Sweden make sure to follow Simon Häggström on Instagram instagram.com/simonhaggstrom… and/or Facebook facebook.com/simon.haggstro… Police go in to inform women of their rights and try to develop mutual trust.
Legalisation and decriminalisation in regards to #prostitution assume that women can access all necessary information on how to do anything from taxes to taking a pimp or john to court to finding ways to exit when they wish to leave. In practice most women can't access any of...
...these things without assistance. Not for lack of intelligence or grit, but for lack of language skills (most in Germany are foreigners), access to education, fear of retaliation by pimps, distrust in the social system and police or just being plain busy surviving day to day.
U.S. primaries are coming up soon which begs the question who can make the most meaningful change for disenfranchised Americans and women in particular. I'd like to endorse one candidate that has actual meaningful policy proposal for women: #AndrewYang
#AndrewYang's wife #EvelynYang is a survivor of sexual assault and has recently begun to speak out publically leading to 15 women coming forward against the same perpetrator. In a Yang administration violence against women could finally be a priority:
#AndrewYang is also the first and only candidate to endorse the #NordicModel meaning criminalizing anyone who makes a financial or sexual profit off of a person in #prostitution, and decriminalizing that person themselves. He did some actual thinking on the issue to come to this.
There are a few completely unfounded claims that consistently arise around how #decriminalization would impact the size of the industry being repeated by @Polaris_Project @ncose & others operating in bad faith, and demonstrating an embarrassing disinterest in data. (1/ )
There are claims that there would be an explosion of the size of the industry. But lets talk abt studies: The country which has decriminalized (New Zealand) & the most recent report on a country which instituted increased criminalization through the #NordicModel (NIreland) (2/ )
NZ had studies before/after & notes the challenges w methodology. Only 1 area replicated their study exactly & after 8 yrs of decrim found an increase of 11 ppl. 17 more indoors, 6 less on the street. They also noted more visibility - which is good. (3/ ) prostitutescollective.net/wp-content/upl…
