About this Quote

This quote by Cynthia Payne highlights the absence of progress in the battle against criminalizing sex work. In 1980, when Payne was released from prison, The Sun newspaper ran a campaign to stop putting sex employees in prison. In spite of this campaign, and the discussions that have actually been had because, no significant action has actually been required to resolve the concern. This quote serves as a tip of the need for additional action to protect sex workers from criminalization and the associated dangers. It also highlights the significance of media campaigns in raising awareness of social concerns and the requirement for governments to take action to resolve them.
