'Openly viewing pornography at work may be considered sexual harassment and a form of discrimination' Great to see our research on the links between #pornography consumption & violence against women & girls cited in this article @Womens_Aid @RapeCrisisIre irishtimes.com/business/work/…

Sex trade survivors, women in prostitution at the moment, anyone involved ever in any way, please stay away from a documentary maker called Mark Logan and his company Collective Films re a doc called Sex Buyers Anonymous. @RuhamaAgency @immigrationIRL @SERPInstIRL @SWAIIreland

We 100% agree! The 'right' to traffick? This does not align with the Irish Government's support for the #EqualityModel and position that #prostitution is "inherently exploitative" as @OCallaghanJim states @DeptJusticeIRL @RapeCrisisIre @SVCCork @NWCI @RuhamaAgency @Womens_Aid
Quite concerning that @UN_HRC SR on TIP Siobhán Mullally @smullallylaw aligns with movement to decriminalize sex trade/sexbuyers/pimps given her role to remind Govs to implement #PalermoProtocol & anti-demand policies.@SERPInstIRL ilga.org/news/hrc59-bey…

These are the kinds of (honest) articles we need about OnlyFans! 👏👏 Not the ones minimizing or glamorizing the now-trending extreme events of 1000+ men using one woman in one day - which will inevitably lead to some woman’s permanent injury or death. thenightly.com.au/culture/eve-jo…
Thanks to @BBCWomansHour for having me as their guest this morning to discuss my Unbuyable Bill. The public wants honest debate from politicians on solutions to tackle the crisis of male violence against women. Time for the government in Scotland and across the UK to have…
