Kentish-based sex workers in the United Kingdom are demanding a bailout from the government after seeing their income plummet because of the coronavirus crisis.
The pro$t!tutes, operating under an umbrella of English Collective of Prostitutes (ECP) want sex workers to access the financial support offered to other employees affected by the Covid-19 pandemic sweeping across the world.
They therefore want the government to recognise them and other thousands of sex workers across the country as employees.
The group in a statement says: “Much sex work involves personal contact – exactly what we are being warned against if the virus is to be contained.”
“The virus comes on top of a crisis of poverty, especially among women.”
