Legalise Prostitution in Knowsley
Hypocrisy Rules in the UK!
Its time to change the law to create a safe haven for Prostitutes
Prostitution in Kirkby
There are a considerable number of Women from Kirkby who choose to work in the Worlds
oldest profession, Prostitution. Many work in parts of Liverpool, there is not a
red light district in Kirkby although some business is obviously carried out here.
A lot of these girls are sadly only in the profession to feed addictions to drugs.
This is not true of all Working Girls but it seems a great deal of the trade is
because of addiction. There are many Girls who are not addicted and see the Job
as a way of earning a decent living, but they are in danger because of the illegality
of the trade and have little protection from the sick bastards who abuse and hurt them.
Victorian Attitude
It is a dangerous occupation for a woman to have and the work they do is
undervalued by society. They are there through men's needs, and despite the
fact that many of those in power use prostitutes, they never acknowledge the
services rendered by passing laws which would make our Girls have some level
of legitimacy. The shocking way in which these Girls are made to ply a trade
which is Thousands of years old is a disgrace. We call this Country civilized
yet those in Power choose to carry on with an almost Victorian attitude where
matters of a sexual nature are concerned. We need to give these Women a decent
place with proper provisions free from any interference by the law and afforded
protection from it not harassment. I'm sure that Coppers in Kirkby are not gonna
think that nicking either a Working Girl or the Customer is a good days work.
I'm sure they'd breathe a sigh of relief if it was legalised.
Dangerous Occupation
We have seen a number of incidents of Girls being assaulted, and it is often
said that the majority of assaults go unreported. How many prostitutes
report rape? Certainly they are raped and abused yet there is an attitude
which men and women have which puts these people in a lesser position than
someone who does not sell their body for sex. A lot of the women who oppose
any moves to legalise prostitution are perhaps the more vocal but the real
power here lies with men. There are not a lot of Women Chief Constables
and it seems that Police objections are the real spoiler in moves to
bring about red light zones in the past.
Danielle Moorcroft age 21 Murdered
There have been a
number of horrific murders of prostitutes in Liverpool and it has to be said that some of these deaths
could well have been prevented if the women were allowed a safe area which was supervised.
There remains an unsolved murder only recently of a Liverpool prostitute in Bolton.
Danielle Moorcroft 21 was found partially naked with head injuries in a central Bolton car park
on June 21st, a Saturday. Please phone the Police on 0161 856 5961 if you may have information,
details of this horrific crime can be found on the Liverpool Echo's website by typing in
Danielle Moorcroft in the search facility here.
Operation Angel
In 2001 an 'operation angel' a zero tolerance
police move against men looking for prostitutes saw Merseyside officers arresting and taking to court a
number of local men who's names all appeared in the Liverpool Echo. More than 120 people were arrested,
the cost must have been over £100'000 once you take into account all the court costs and man-hours spent
collaring these men. And who is to say that the very police arresting you and the Judge or magistrates
aren't using prostitutes? We all know it goes on.
Sex For Sale
It's a shame sex has been reduced to a saleable
commodity, but lets not live in a fantasy land where we hide from the less palatable facts of life.
There has to come with any Red Light zones a proper code of conduct and strict medical supervision.
A license would be the most effective way of ensuring that prostitutes behaved in a responsible manner.
Licensed premises would be the best way to ensure all round safety and security. In Amsterdam the
'brothels' are strictly run and the girls pay a rent which covers wages for security and other workers.
We need to create an environment whereby the safety of women who work in the sex trade is ensured by
working with them. The alternative is to allow more poor Girls to be found dead in Car parks,
Alleys and wasteland. A lot of prostitution is done in out of the way places because of fear
of the Police. The very same Police in Holland patrol the red light zones to ensure the safety
of these girls. The difference between Holland and England is that the Dutch treat their prostitutes
as Human Beings. We treat them like dirt.
Red Light Zone in Knowsley
Kirkby times will be making a case
for the setting up of a red light 'Amsterdam' style area in Knowsley; one of the Industrial estates would
be great. The area could be supervised and policed and being out of the way it would not create problems
with residents complaining. Whether Knowsley Council will take on board these ideas is at the moment
doubtful, but Kirkby Times is looking 10 years down the line and seeing regret from the Council as
other areas move ahead and leave us behind. We should follow the Dutch example and legalise
prostitution.
There will be more articles on this and if anyone has
any ideas then do email at the usual address.
