Pregnant sex worker gets 9 months jail in Ireland in 2019

[removed]

Is the link ok?
If not I will try to link something else but this is full of information and links to a twitter group to help.

Twitter may be the best place to join no need to join up on EI

I am anon here and so linking EI is easier for that reason.

Clue: if you don't know whether it's OK to post something, the way to find out is read the rules and then ask privately if you're still not sure, not just crack on anyway.

If anybody wants the details they can PM :)

No problem, then people can do that instead. We're not here to send traffic to other sites and we really don't need them popping over to have a nose when they see the hits.

This is a really horrible story to read. But i have heard of this happening before where 2 friends are sharing a flat and both working and they get charged for brothel keeping and jailed.

So many think a brothel is a person making money off other women working there but it can be just 2 friends sharing a place and the risk of jail.

I would not work with anyone else too risky for prosecution.

Women are not loved in Ireland, i mean..what do you expect of a country that legalized abortion a few months ago? the Magdalene laundries etc..they are very religious and traditional, there's no other european country were this would have happened, only in ireland. So backwards putting a pregnant escort in jail for 9 months for working with another girls.

The law is an ass, whether in Ireland or elsewhere.

Going off topic; I think the conviction rate for rape is about 9% here so that speaks volumes.
CPS in UK and Ireland need to wake up to living in the real world and protect victims of crime and not prosecute innocent women trying to make a living.

Something makes me think that they were targeted (?).
Newspapers say they were "migrant women".
I'm sure there are other women working in the area and Garda turning a blind eye. . . but not with these women.

The papers say "decriminalisation" by Nordic model i.e. purchase of sex illegal to "protect" women and stop trafficking, did not help women.
Obviously, they made it far worse.
I saw the full article run on the G paper.

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.

Yes, it crossed my mind, too. . .
There's a better article on the I. newspaper as we speak. . .
It also comes with 16 comments on. 


Voice: "Feminists, if you support the ‘Nordic’ approach to sex work, you’re co-signing the imprisonment of women".
This article comments that Garda arrested two other migrant women prior.
It has some positive report on New York City activism (sadly as a stark positive contrast to grim UK version of "feminism" )

+1 (and it's a notably freedom-hating and morally fascist sort of ass too!).
I have just contacted both the ECP (English Collective of Prostitutes) and Amnesty International about how we can get these two women out of prison (if at all).  If I am not mistaken, though, one is out on bail (& if so, thank fuck!).

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.
