Place of Event: Webinar

There were believed to be 105,000 individuals in the UK who are involved in prostitution, up from 72,000 in 2016. The vast majority of these are women. The cost-of-living crisis is pushing yet more women into sex work and forcing them to take work from violent and exploitative clients. A 2015 National Ugly Mugs Our survey with Leeds University found 49% of sex workers were “worried” or “very worried” about their safety and 47% have been targeted by offenders. Meanwhile, 49% were either “unconfident” or “very unconfident” that police would take their reports seriously. It is estimated that 152 sex workers were murdered in the UK between 1990 and 2015. The charity Beyond the Streets highlights that 76% of those involved in prostitution experience some form of post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of this work.

Currently, sex work is legal in England, Wales and Scotland, but many of the surrounding aspects remain illegal, such as solicitation or running a brothel. The UK government have stated though that whilst they do not intend to change the law around sex work, they are committed to tackling the harm and exploitation associated with sex work. The Scottish government has also been criticised for focussing their support in this area towards charities that are not backed by sex workers, and that are focussed on getting people out of the industry rather than supporting those in it.

The Home Affairs Committee’s 2016 report, Prostitution, recommended a shift to complete decriminalisation. Dan Vajzovic, the National Police Chief Council’s lead for prostitution, who is working alongside government officials to reassess brothel keeping legislation, has called on the government to review prostitution laws to ensure sex workers can work together on the same premises to remain safe. This would “better enable the police to focus our resources on protecting sex workers and tackling those who are controlling or exploiting,” Vajzovic argues. According to National Ugly Mugs, sex workers are ten times safer working indoors than on the streets.

Christine Jardine MP, Liberal Democrat spokesperson for women and equalities, who supports the decriminalisation of brothel keeping, has called for a proper government strategy to accompany it. Also supporting decriminalisation of brothels, Labour MP, Nadia Whittome, has highlighted that “Other laws aimed at sex work – such as soliciting – should also be repealed, to improve sex workers’ rights, safety and ability to leave the sex industry if they choose. Alongside decriminalisation, the government must urgently tackle the growing levels of poverty that are pushing more women into sex work to make ends meet.”

This timely symposium will provide sex workers, safeguarding boards, police forces, local authorities, and social care providers with an opportunity to identify and debate priorities for reform and develop strategies for protecting and expanding the rights of sex workers.

Universities need to wise up to when students are doing work that’s dodgy, unfair, or risky. That could be in pubs, shops, or other casual jobs – and it could be in sex work. The myth of student sex work is that it’s only done by 19-year-old students who want a sugar daddy to buy them fancy stuff – not a parent-student who’s taking a well-paid and flexible job in between juggling studying, housework, and looking after the kids. Not that I’m judging either way – I’ve seen both – but sex workers and their reasons for doing it are different (in fact, the English Collective of Prostitutes found in 2019 that most sex workers are mums).

Sex work is different, too. Sugarbabying (usually a sexual relationship with – often much older – person in exchange for money and/or gifts) and escorting (in-person paid sex) are common. The recent cost of living survey by Canterbury Christ Church SU found that of the (few) students who had done sex work, sending used clothes was the most common type of sex work done by their students, followed by intimate photos and OnlyFans. 58.3 per cent of the students who had done sex work in the past year said it was for money reasons – with a fair bit of these saying it was specifically to pay their way through uni. Whether we like it or not – students are getting paid for a kind of work to get through the cost of living crisis, And that’s work.

Do you remember what happened back in November 2021 at the University of Durham Students’ Union? They got a lot of flak for teaching their staff about student sex work. Some people even said they didn’t care about other kinds of work (that’s not true, by the way, they did).

They did the training because they wanted their staff to know the facts and the myths about sex work. That way, they could help student sex workers in different ways. Maybe they need some money, maybe they want to quit, or maybe they just want to feel supported. It’s important that student sex workers – and trust me, they are out there – feel that their institution is on their side.

Life is getting harder, right? More and more students have to work part-time, and some of them even do sex work. I’m worried about how many of them don’t know how to stay safe, because their universities don’t tell them anything. Maybe the universities are scared of what the media or the politicians will say if they do.

There was this student sex worker I met when I worked at a students’ union. She had a nasty client who knew about this thing called “morality clause” – it’s when the university can kick you out if you don’t behave the way they want, and they have used it against student sex workers. He was blackmailing her with that. She didn’t know that her university didn’t have one until three months later. If her university had shown her some support (I mean, support for sex workers, not for sex work), this wouldn’t have happened.

Some people always say bad things about sex work. They say it’s different from other work because it’s humiliating – but that’s just their opinion, and it says more about them than about sex work. Besides, from the students we talked to, it seems that humiliation is not something that only happens in sex work.

If we don’t tell students how to be safe, they will look for it somewhere else – and they might get the wrong information. I googled “escort” and checked out The Student Room. I saw some scary, wrong, and risky answers from students to students who wanted to be escorts. And nobody said anything about the laws or the problems that come with the work that students really need to know – like if two or more sex workers share a house or live together, that’s an illegal brothel and they can go to jail for seven years.

When we find work, many of us find the work not empowering. Most people would not say cleaning toilets, cleaning offices is empowering. Working in a call centre in the main is not empowering. Working in Amazon packing parcels is not empowering. So why does working as a sex worker have to be empowering? For many escorts working as a sex worker is not empowering, but a way to earn good money at the most flexible and fastest way to allow other activities. Some sex workers do find the work empowering. Research in California found call girls in the main found selling sex empowering. But the main complaint about Julies article is, why does sex work have to be empowering for people to work as escorts, when so many other menial poorly paid jobs are not empowering. What is so special about sex work that it must be empowering for people to partcipate in the work?

She of course then comes out with other old disproven tropes that the entry into sex worker is under the age of 18 and from people who were abused or had mental health issues. This has been time and time proven not to be the case. She fails to differentiate between the licensed German system, and the decriminalised system in new Zealand and Western Australia. In Germany, the licensing encourages large brothels, while in New Zealand the decriminalised approach along with the planning laws encourages small discrete workplaces operated by friends for companionship and safety. Many escorts with mental health issues find that selling sex is the most convenient way of earning money. Their mental health issues don’t allow them to get a ‘normal job’.

She wants to get rid of pimps, but we all know that working together always results in at least one of the sex workers to be accused of pimping, normally the owner of the lease. Often though, as in the Republic of Ireland, all the Irish Escorts working together in the flat will be charged and convicted of pimping each other. This is also a way thet ‘bad’ clients who are criminalised can have a hold over these prostitutes.

Bindel refuses to acknowledge that criminalising the client fails and causes more harm to the escort. Research from Cambridge University into the implementation of the Nordic Model in Sweden shows how this has so harmed sex workers. More so than the few clients caught.

In response to the news of the Durham University sex work courses, many politicians and charities got on their High  Horses and proceeded to throw their toys out of their prams.

Labour MP Diane Abbott – who appears to have not read past the erroneous headlines – tweeted: “Horrific that Durham University is offering training to students who want to be sex workers part-time. Sex work is degrading, dangerous, and exploitative. Uni should have nothing to do with it.”

She totally misrepresented what the course was about. She also promotes a dangerous stereotype that all sex work is harmful and increases the stigma, putting more at risk. Maybe she has met sex workers who have been harmed, and not met those who have worked safely.

Research from 2015 by the Student Sex Work Project estimated there were five percent of students working in the sex industry. Other research put the figure at 3%, and of those only 105 of student sex workers are escorts providing intimate relationships with the clients.  The other types of sex work include sending nudes or used clothing items, being a creator on sites like OnlyFans, sugar dating, phone sex, camming. The most common type of student sex work is selling intimate photos, followed by used clothes and OnlyFans,

The training done by Durham University did not place emphasis on escorting, which the media exploited. Instead much was for the staff working at universities to learn about sex workers, tackle their own misconceptions, and support students”.

Laura Watson from the English Collective of Prostitutes stated that paying for rent, food led students into sex work. Other jobs did not pay well, or were not available to them, or took too much of their time. Sex work was well paid and flexible allowing these students to concentrate on their education. Watson also countered Abbott’s comments on sex work as degrading and dangerous, by saying that this was true because the violence is caused by the criminalisation of the sex industry. Violent men know that they’re going to get away with and nothing will happen to them, because when women (engaged in selling sex) go to the police for help, they get threatened with arrest themselves.

Durham, Newcastle and Manchester are the only Russell Group universities that have policies in place to support their students who work in the sex industry. There is an estimate that there are 214,200 student sex workers. That does sound high to me, but not all those student sex workers would be student escorts.

It is a pity that other Universities do not provide advice to those who are sex workers. Advice on STIs, the law, and organisations they can turn to for help.

Outside the Russell Group unis, Leicester University released the Student Sex Work Toolkit. The safety resource includes details for staff on how to communicate with students about their sex work and signposting of further sources of information. They also outline a guide on the legalities of sex work and tips for students to keep themselves safe.

None of this is encouragement to students to work as escorts, but rather to help those who already work in the sex industry to be safe.

Durham university escorts say they have made hundreds of pounds working as sex workers. Last week Durham university defended the student unions decsion to offer training sessions.  Anna said the training sessions were useful, bevause there were times she was scared.  Another sex worker said they were not interested in the advice. They prefered to get their advice from other sex workers, and not students

Durham university, like Leicester university runs a course on sex work for students. A few students pay for their education by sex work. This could be stripping, selling videos or intimate underwear or working as a Durham escort. Durham university has come in for alot of critism for their course, many people saying they are encouraging students into sex work. Michelle Donelan, the minister for higher and further education, accusing the Russell Group university of “legitimising a dangerous industry” and “badly failing in their duty to protect” students.

Durham have responded to defend their course.

As a responsible University, we strive to ensure that students who may be vulnerable or at risk are protected and have access to the support to which they are entitled,” it said.

The University brought in the external Students Involved in the Adult Sex Industry session in response to requests received over a number of years from a small number of concerned students.”

It added that the session was developed by external trainers who are experts in delivering support to those engaged in sex work.
