We were pleased, as partners in the We Don't Buy It Campaign, to contribute our front line expertise to this webinar on "Prostitution Under COVID 19."
Covid-19 has had, and continues to have, a detrimental impact on the lives of people who sell sex on the street and in off street settings such as apartments, brothels, and selling images online. Those involved have faced significant challenges in areas such as lack of finance, housing, social isolation and safety issues but are also facing additional challenges in accessing support due to stigma and fear of disclosing their specific circumstances.
In this webinar we discuss, with other partners from across the spectrum of experience in this area, some of the effects of the pandemic and ways in which it has impacted on our service provision and on the lives of those most impacted by the pandemic within the sex trade
