To: Debra Humphris, vice-chancellor, Brighton University

Tomi Ibukun, president, Brighton University Student Union 

Amy Jaiteh, VP welfare & campaigns, Brighton University Student Union

Dear Ms Humphris, Mr Ibukun and Ms Jaiteh,

We write to express our concern that a stall run by the Sex Workers’ Outreach Project (Swop) was made available to your students during freshers’ week.

Most of the freshers are young, many still teenagers. Many are vulnerable and worried about money. All of these factors can lead young people, especially girls and young women, to consider prostitution as a viable option. 

However, research shows that the life of women involved in prostitution is at best unstable, at worst extremely dangerous. 

Long-term physical, emotional and psychological consequences are inevitable. This is how one young woman described her recent experience in prostitution.

“People think prostitution is about having consensual sex for money. It’s not. Those men don’t want to pay for that. They paid me and then used me however they wanted. I was beaten with objects until I bled, spat at, anally raped, gang-raped, passed around at sex parties like a toy, men slipping off their condoms. I was shouted at, threatened, choked, told to look like I enjoyed it or he’d take the money back. I was scared every single second.”

How is it ethical to suggest, even obliquely, that this is a reasonable option for a young woman to whom you have a duty of care? Or the corollary — that buying sex — is an acceptable option for a young man?

We understand that the institution’s response was that the stall was aimed at students who are already involved in “sex work” with the aim of making sure they knew where to find support.

This does not really wash because we know from speaking to women currently and previously involved in prostitution that they would never approach such a public stall for fear of being outed to their peers, which could put them in real danger of assault by men.

Swop must be well aware of this dynamic. A genuine effort to reach students currently engaged with prostitution could more appropriately be made discreetly through the student welfare service.

What then was the real purpose of the stall?

It’s hard to see any purpose other than promoting, glamorising and normalising the renting of (mostly) women’s and girls’ bodies to men. 

As such the stall would inevitably serve to groom both young women and young men to accept and participate in this most oppressive and inhumane institution that is both a cause and consequence of the gross inequality between the sexes. 

One of the many reasons we campaign for the Nordic model, is that it improves boys’ and young men’s attitude to women and girls and encourages them to reject the sex industry and the objectification of women on which it is predicated. 

The university has a legal obligation under the Public Sector Equality Duty to consider the impact of its measures on the need to eliminate sexist discrimination and harassment, to advance women’s equality of opportunity and to foster good relations between male and female students and staff. How is allowing a stall that implicitly (if not explicitly) condones and trivialises an institution that feeds male entitlement and entrenches the second-class status of women compatible with that?

We are acutely aware of the devastating poverty that is gripping large sections of the community because of the government’s austerity policies, and the impact of the student fees. 

However, there are many other more positive ways to help young people negotiate and survive these problems and we would suggest that this is where you should be aiming your focus.

We urge you to take your responsibilities to young people and to equality between the sexes more seriously in future and to never allow such a thing to happen again.

Yours sincerely,

Lesley McLarty, Friends have been raped, sexually assaulted, murdered through their reluctant involvement in the sex trade, with some ultimately committing suicide.  Paying (mostly) women to let (mostly) men fuck their body is not something that should ever be held up as work, because it’s not. It’s exploitation of people in need.

Liliana Forero, Activist
Lily, I’m an exited woman. I was trafficked from the ages of four to 22 by my family and ex-partners. There is no real line between trafficking and prostitution. The violence, the entitlement to women’s bodies, the fear and the risk of death is all the same and claiming a distinction based on who gets the money completely misses the experience of most prostituted women where pimps take that money. Young women in a scary, vulnerable and financially unstable position do not need to be exposed to the lies of the ‘sex work is empowering’ industry which is predominantly run and managed by pimps and those with very limited experience of direct prostitution and trafficking. The impact is immeasurable but let me try. Several years on disability benefits — unable to work, live a normal life or engage with society. Thousands and thousands and thousands of pounds on trauma therapy — and that’s with a good therapist, there’s just so much trauma to deal with. Lifelong physical and emotional effects — including for me a dissociative disorder, traumatic stress, anxiety, chronic migraines and knee injuries. The impact never goes away.

Sara Stewart, Worker in a hostel for women involved in criminal justice system. Many of these women were sex workers. 
Sarah, My best friend growing up became an escort and was very excited about the money but a week or two into doing it she was assaulted on the job. The bodyguard that was charged with her safety could not prevent the assault. The escort agency had already coached her on how to keep herself as safe as possible and it didn’t prevent anything. The agency had a no drugs policy but she was still able to do and sell ecstasy while working. After quitting she owed money to a drug dealer. He beat her and threatened to pimp her to repay the money and felt he could be successful in coercing her because she had already done sex work. Fortunately he was wrong. She then went into stripping. Eventually her lifestyle led to her overdosing on drugs, being raped while overdosing, losing access to her child and a string of abusive relationships. I believe her involvement in prostitution was one of a short list of factors that lead to her being unable to live without self-medicating. She is now an anti-prostitution activist and has a degree in social work. I also have personal experience with self-objectification but am unable to disclose the details.
