Sarah Harte: It’s ludicrous to suggest that sex work is just another form of work

Irish laws put sex workers at higher risk of abuse and violence forcing them to take more risks as they avoid the police and authorities.

Does any little girl say that when she grows up she would like to be a sex worker? 

I think we can agree that a job with a risk of unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, rape, violence, and stigma is not a dream job and many of those who advocate being sex-positive and supporting sex work would not like to do it themselves or would not like their daughters, sisters, and mother to do it.
