'Not Equal Not Safe' Vigil at the Scottish Parliament



Wednesday November 25th is International Day to End Violence Against Women. Join Scot-Pep at the Scottish Parliament at 4pm to hold a socially-distanced vigil.

We want to tell MSPs that the criminalisation of sex work fuels violence against women who sell sex.



Scottish Government policy means that sex workers are #NotEqualNotSafe, and proposals to introduce the criminalisation of clients will only worsen sex workers’ vulnerability to violence and harm. No woman is safe until sex workers are safe. Decriminalisation now.
