I'm awfully curious to know what this headline is based on, what bizarre fabrication this cop offers as proof of 'winning sex workers' trust'. Let me know if you can read it!
Winning trust = police sent 'caring' messages to sexworker mobiles. No thanks to the Times for pretending that caring is real. Anti-womanism.
Even worse than fake caring: Police xenophobia. Blame all crime on foreigners. If only Ireland hadn't 'blended nationalities' all would be green and peacful like the past when 100% Irish citizens put women in Magdalene Laundries.
Of course, 'winning sexworkers' trust' is classic Rescue-Industry speak, along with doing it 'for your own good' and offering Rehabilitation to your damaged soul.
Capping it off: "We are letting women and men involved in prostitution know we consider them vulnerable + are there to help them... We are now focused solely on pursuing those who purchase sexual services + those who organize it." And when you feel hungry, have a Rehab Sandwich.

Manhattan: 'Formulated in consultation with many sex workers + sex worker-advocacy organizations, it is one of the most detailed policy positions on the full decriminalization of sex work ever put forward by a major candidate at any level of US politics.' yhoo.it/3qXRNgH
NY battlefield: 'Orlins call for full decriminalization the same week NY state Sen Krueger announced introducing a version of the Nordic model which involves arresting the clients of sex workers + in some circumstances not arresting the sex workers themselves.' That last is odd.
'Nordic model advocates have begun to refer to their model as “decriminalizing sex work”...deliberately misleading as members of any other profession—say, hairdressers—would hardly consider their work to be “decriminalized” if it were legal to sell a haircut but not to buy one.'

How many times will media outlets print this story? "Few convictions for #sextrafficking & forced labour... because most victims do not report it. Unfortunately, people often don't feel they are victims, for them it's a form of work." Unfortunately! tmsnrt.rs/2IBXxKJ
The story's the same no matter what countries migrants leave from or arrive to. They feel they've got work, even if it's worse than what they hoped for. They're making more than they could've. All outsiders' trying to get them to feel like victims to be 'sent home': Waste of Time
What do police & #RescueIndustry achieve? Few convictions because so-called victims won't cooperate. T'would be better to admit defeat and announce drastic deportation policy: 'We're getting rid of migrants we don't want'. But wait, then they couldn't feel good about Rescues.
