Migrant women or not they are still human beings who should not be banged up for making a living.
Don't know the full story but hope they are released pronto with an apology from the scum who locked them up in the first place.

I doubt there get an apology but it is a awful situation and even 2 girls working together is illegal they are hardly pimps what kind of judge locks them up and pregnant. The judge must be making an example of them to be a warning to others but that could back fire on him for being so harsh especially if this gains international interest from the media.

Molly Smith's article on the indy. newspaper was quite informative.  G paper also had an article, as well, which is good.
Ireland adopted Nordic model. 

Personally, they shouldn't be spending resources/time on foreign vulnerable women. It's just unethical/illogical in all aspects.
Nobody gains from it.  No victims except these women themselves.

"Layleen Polanco, a Black trans woman who had been found dead in her cell in notorious New York prison Rikers" in New York City, USA:  police brutality on these trans sex workers is horrendous.

Nobody was 'banged up for making a living'; the people concerned were working together from the same place, making it a brothel and therefore illegal. As somebody has already said the law itself is the problem and not the fact that it was enforced - if it hadn't been this time it would have been somebody else's turn soon enough and the plan needs to be to get it changed. We don't pick and choose which laws it's OK to break and which it isn't - it'd be chaos.

It could have been as much as a neighbour putting in a complaint with police and if they looked heavily pregnant there might have been concerns. Plus 2 ladies working together is illegal so police probably would need to act on complaints. Still a shame the judge decided jail sentencing was the way to punish them. Poor women.

That's been my experience thus far, police get involved if neighbours notice and kick up a fuss or something else. In over 15 years the one time its happened at a place I was working that wasn't a set up brothel (as in a business managing lots of women) just a few friends sharing, it was because one of my 'colleagues' got into a series of rows (stupidly) with a neighbour over bins and shit like that, and eventually he dobbed us in. We told her again and again to stop making scenes with neighbours because he had the upper hand but she wouldn't listen. Another brothel I worked in that got raided (but this was a proper set up) happened not long after an attack incident happened at the place. The guy who attack a woman there never got arrested of course. Although I can't say I had much sympathy for the owners either because they were greedy bullies, and they escaped prison sentences in any case, just their criminal spoils confiscated. Justice is wonky.
