I want the government to introduce a Sex Worker's Discrimination Act. I believe new legislation is necessary to safeguard individuals working in the sex industry from discrimination, abuse and social stigma. I think this could help promote a fair, safe and more equal society.

Ban banks from denying service to sex workers because of their work
Many sex workers are being denied banking services, including account closures and mortgage refusals, because their lawful work is labelled “high risk". Other sectors considered "high risk", such as gambling, have managed to negotiate terms for banking. Why should the sex industry be any different?
Approve and implement the EHRC guidance on meaning of sex in the Equality Act
The Supreme Court has issued a ruling relating to the definition of sex in the Equality Act. We want the Government to immediately approve and implement the resulting guidance produced by EHRC. We think the delay is untenable.
Introduce measures to protect digital ride-share drivers from exploitation
We believe digital ride share drivers face growing exploitation from platform companies. They can take big commissions while paying little to drivers. Drivers work long hours but can earn less as fares and profits rise. Drivers now demand government action to end this unfair system.
Make the possession and sale of child imitation sex dolls a specific offence
Make the possession and sale of child imitation sex dolls a specific offence. They normalise sexual attraction to children, and despite beliefs some people hold of them preventing escalation to real children, no studies have conclusively backed this claim. With some studies finding the opposite.
Introduce an Emergency Legal Protection Certificate for domestic abuse survivors
Fund and provide state-funded legal advice and representation for domestic abuse survivors with verified police evidence via an Emergency Legal Protection Certificate, which will be provided to survivors and allow them to receive immediate protection and support while navigating the legal system.
