A union representing Edinburgh's sex workers has said plans which could see the capital's strip clubs shut would discriminate against women. Picture: Lisa Ferguson '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.
