In a report titled We live within a violent system Amnesty International have called for sex work to be decriminilised. A Noridc model law was implemented five years ago in the Republic of Ireland. This law has jeopardised the safty if Irish Escorts, rather than improve their saftey.
The law penalised brothel keeping, supporters of the law arguing that this improves the saftey of sex workers. Amnesty say the law has a chillin effect, by preventing sex workers from working together for saftey. Sex workers say this can be extremely dangerous. They fear the guards more than the occasional dangerous client.
