Sex workers lobby against client criminalisation Bill
PM could be ejected from Downing Street if Welsh Labour loses Senedd elections in May, First Minister says
SEX workers and campaigners joined forces in the House of Commons yesterday to lobby against sections of new Bill which would criminalise clients.
Members of the English Collective of Prostitutes (ECP) argued that some clauses of the Modern Slavery Bill could increase the dangers faced by sex workers.
“We strongly oppose the criminalisation of clients, on the basis of women’s safety,” said ECP spokeswoman Niki Adams.
