Today is December 17th - International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. Sending love to our sex work family worldwide today.
1/6 Image
Under laws fought for by the Religious Sisters of Charity, Ruhama and Immigrant Council Ireland,
violence against sex workers increased dramatically by 92%.
2/6
Robberies against us by men working together increased while prison sentences and fines for working together as sex workers doubled. Both are examples of violence against sex workers.
3/6
Renting a premises to a sex worker is illegal under laws fought for by Ruhama. This is violence against sex workers. Ruhama just moved into fancy new offices paid for with public money given to help us.
4/6
Violence against sex workers includes state policies that increase poverty and inequality.
Violence against sex workers includes criminalizing sex workers instead of addressing poverty and inequality.
5/6

This tweet overlooks the role the gardaí play in state violence against sex workers in terms of evictions, jailing and deportation.
2/11
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.
