Holyrood committee split on prostitution Bill as concerns raised
GO TO THE 2-MINUTE TOOL NOW:
nmnow.org/
The Scottish Criminal Justice Committee has released its report on Ash Regan’s Unbuyable Bill. They recognise the harms that prostitution causes but seemingly illogically half of the committee members could not bring themselves to back making paying for sex a criminal offence.
Apparently they think that men should have carte blanche to continue this harmful and backward traditional practice and let women continue to carry the consequences in ruined lives and generational trauma.
It would seem that half of the committee have revealed their naivety by swallowing the bizarre assertions by lobbyists that criminalising buying sex will cause more harm to the women involved because they won’t be able to screen “clients” any more – when there is no evidence that this is the norm in the sex industry in the UK today – where buyers’ anonymity is sacrosanct. We have written about this in a new myth buster (see link below).
The Scottish Parliament will vote on this on Tuesday 3 February. If you live in Scotland, NOW IS THE TIME to write to your MSPs asking them to support women and vote for the Bill. Using our 2-minute tool, this only takes 2 minutes.

In case you missed it, a member of our Survivor Group has written a powerful piece for our blog about the reality many women and children are facing when they leave abusers during this #CostOfLiving crisis.

Angus Women's Aid retweeted
Even before the current #CostOfLivingCrisis, women experiencing domestic abuse were often having to make the impossible choice between leaving and potentially facing destitution, or staying with abuser.
That’s a choice that no woman should ever have to make.

This #16Days we are looking at the #CostOfLeaving domestic abuse. For many women, interactions with the justice system and family court cause more harm and lasting trauma.
One member of our Survivor Group has shared these powerful photos which evoke the #CostOfLeaving for her.
