Government urged to urgently outlaw sex for rent exploitation 

NWC director Orla O’Connor said that women in precarious housing situations 'are being forced to choose between sexual exploitation and homelessness'.

The Government is being urged to tackle outlawing sex for rent exploitation as a matter of urgency before the general election by the National Women’s Council.

The council is holding a briefing today at Leinster House, almost three years after the Government pledged to tackle the area as a priority following an investigation into sex for rent practices by the Irish Examiner in December 2021.
