The 11 Strangest ‘Resolutions’ From A UK Feminist Conference
11. Motion 303: Supporting the decriminalisation of sex work
Interestingly, in the motion on prison abolition, the disproportionate presence of lesbians, immigrants, and other disadvantaged women in the prison system was used as an argument for the system’s total abolition. In the case of sex work, the disproportionate number of lesbians, transsexuals, immigrants, and other disadvantaged women pushed into sex work is used as an argument for complete legalization.
Ironically, besides the usual suspects “anti-choice, anti-LGBT right-wing fundamentalists,” the continued criminalization of sex work is blamed on “radical feminists.”
