'We need financial authorities to stop conflating sex and sex work with criminality, and reinforcing the isolation and marginalisation already facing sex workers.'

Excluding sex workers from bank accounts excludes them society. Banks must end policies driven by stigma.

Alongside 36 other organisations, we have written to the Home Secretary @jamescleverly urging him to reconsider proposals to fine and imprison people forced to sleep on our streets #CriminalJusticeBill

Brilliant piece on the deep unfairness of spouse visa- income thresholds, which govt is raising from £18600 to £38,700 a year.

The changes mean that 75% of the UK population will essentially be priced out of cross-border love. standard.co.uk/comment/visa-r…

Happy International Romani Day.

Revisit Ben Smoke’s 2019 piece exploring the violent oppression Romani people have endured throughout history.

We need to remove barriers to access sexual health and harm reduction for sex workers, not put more up through laws that criminalise them.
