Will this be followed up by a white american writing about India?

Excerpts: In Merseyside, England, violence against sex workers is treated by the police as a hate crime. This means that when a sex worker is the victim of an assault, robbery, or rape, she or he can report the incident without fear of being charged with prostitution, because the police have agreed to place a higher priority on convicting the criminals who harm sex workers over criminalizing sex workers.

I just wanted to say Maxine, you are so cool to make this reply to an article that you could have seen as being critical of you. It’s not the first time I have seen you engage in such a constructive way. You are a really excellent activist.

Don’t worry about criticism until it comes from reputable sources – which are hard to identify in the currrent landscape of opaquely funded ‘activism’ and its even more opaque cousin, social media. In other words, don’t look to the NSWP facebook page as a forum for genuine, well informed sex workers rights activists. Certainly don’t be deterred from publishing this incredibly important info everywhere you can. (nb I also expressed concerns about allying with cops and social workers when I first heard of this adaptation of the Ugly Mugs)
