Pandemic 'adds to an existing crisis', campaigner says

“The flat where the woman, whose working name is Susan, sells sex closed down last weekend so she has had a whole week without no money since then,” said Ms Adams, whose campaign group supports the decriminalisation of prostitution. “And it was quiet for four weeks before that. She earned half of how much she usually would. What she earns covers food for her mum, who is in her seventies and on a tiny state pension, and the rest of her family.

Do not care. That is dirty. Don't sympathise with them.

Improvise, adapt, overcome. Or don’t.

Their main concern is one metre distancing.

Never been tempted but it is one of the oldest professions with some of the richest people making regular contributions

Really, plenty of full time manual jobs available working in the food industry.

Shame forever on the Independent for being the mouthpiece of the male run sex industry lobby and supporting the exploitation and abuse of the most vulnerable women in our society

Just file your tax returns.....Oh wait.

There are plenty of jobs available picking fruit and veg

The sex trade is more dangerous than corona

I don't think they pay tax or no so get a job in the shops they need workers

MPs have been supporting them for years...Specially rent boys

Consider yourself patrolled. You deserve worse.

Exploited women not sex workers..

I AM SURE THE SOCIAL MEDIA HOES ARE FEELING IT TOO, SINCE THEIR SUGAR DADDYS RAN FOR THE HILLS AND THE MIDDLE CLASS SPLENDA DADDYS ARE IN LOCKED DOWN FROM WORK, WHICH MEANS EARLY BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER, OR WEEKEND WORK MEETING CANNOT BE USED AS AN EXCUSE AS A LIE TO THEIR WIVES

'The most wide-ranging study ever into British sex work, published by the Home Office last Autumn, found austerity was pushing women into prostitution and the criminalisation of the industry is putting them in danger'.

Maybe Donald Trump knows them personally ?

It's time to change the industry, so ...

Is there a NAICS code for sexworker? You would need it for your taxes. Right? Self-employed...

That sucks (boom boom)

IMPORTANT WATCH AND PASS ON ASAP

Since they are asking tax payers to help I presume they have declared all the income they made to the taxman ?

Every industry (even the worlds oldest) is feeling the covid effect

What a dumb profession to still have!! surprised feminists are not calling for this to be banned.

Lmao

Learn to code

Maybe is time to get another job

That’s Whorrible.

Does that mean it's free?

Time to get on the phone sex bandwagon. Do it girls!

so not key workers then?

That’s nonsense. In the age of the sexworker there are plenty of platforms that can be used to channel in income 4 selling their body, or even being on camera for the act. If they have too much pride to not sell their life videos or take donations on streaming sites, then pissoff

GO GET A REAL JOB! SEX IS A PLEASURE!!!! NOT A BUSINESS!!!!!! WE GOT ENOUGH DISEASES GOING AROUND! LOL HOPEFULLY THE DRUG DEALERS GO BUST TOO!!!!

Maybe they just need to lower their prices a little? Let the magic hand of the market fix it
