Sex workers across Lincolnshire are being urged to sign up to text alert scheme - that can protect them from violent predators. The 'National Ugly Mugs' service sends warnings about dangerous clients to people in the sex industry.
On #InternationalWorkersDay we stand in solidarity with all workers organising for their rights. Pls watch our campaign vid & sign our petition demanding the UK Gov decriminalises prostitution so sex workers have the same protection the law offers everyone else #MakeAllWomenSafe
The current law in the UK forces women to work alone. Decriminalise sex work to #makeallwomensafe. Sign our petition at: bit.ly/makeallwomensafe. Before you sign, if you want to learn more visit: makeallwomensafe.org. #internationalsexworkersrightsday #internationalwomensday
