Companies urged not to support lap-dancing

AN organisation working to help women in prostitution is recruiting the support of major Irish companies in its campaign against lap-dancing clubs.

The Ruhama organisation is asking firms to voluntarily pledge not to choose lap-dancing clubs as venues for corporate entertainment during nights out for clients, customers or staff.

The novel initiative was launched earlier this summer through direct contact with the companies, and details of the campaign’s progress to date will be released today.
