Last night
RTE 2 reality star and former escort Kate McGrew flanked by masked sex workers from the Sex Workers Alliance of Ireland (SWAI) at a vigil to mark International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers outside Leinster House, Kildare Street, Dublin.
The SWAI is an alliance of sex workers, ex-sex workers and others alongside organisations involved in health and social support services.
They oppose laws criminalising the purchase of sex as only a “human rights approach based on harm reduction and decriminalisation” will protect sex workers and give them access to their rights.

yer wan is mad as a fridge, found that show very watchable though
there’s nothing mad about a fridge. fridges are like your loyal kitchen sentinels, performing their function without any judgement or prejudice. they are the epitome of dependability and compliance. i think you owe fridges everywhere an apology, mate.
What’s your take on hatstand’s?
*hatstands !
durty
now, hatstands i’m very suspicious of. i’d rather hang on to my own hat that place it on one of them lads thank you very much.
Must be more than 3 sex workers in Ireland…No?
An event crying out for a bit of Blandford Hutton in her cloak…
Say ‘sex workers’ one more time. I dare ya. I double dare ya.
“ex-sex worker “…that’s a mouthful ; )
…good on them though.
We should have more laws that criminalise consenting adults and drive a booming trade underground and into the arms of organised criminals.
More laws like this I say!
Hurrah for poor policy making!!!
You’re right about them laws. Good thing that recent study came out high lighting that 97.2% of sex workers are consenting and are in no way forced into the trade.
Good thing this will not drive sex work underground, making efforts to stop trafficking harder
It gives the moral crusaders the feeling that Something Is Being Done, and that’s all that matters.
