What we have got is a longstanding policy based around the principles of human rights that people with disabilities have the same rights as anyone else in the community and are entitled to be assisted to exercise those rights. Our 'Disability Services, Personal Relationship and Sexuality Guidelines' developed in 2001, include a section 'Access to a sex worker'. We have organised trips to Hobart Brothels.

The topic of disabled people using sex work is currently topical because of the British Home Office proposals to criminalize the buying of sex.

You will see from this site, especially from the section in About entitled “Services that Sex Workers Provide to Disabled People”, that much work is being done in this area, and it would be tragic if disabled people were banned from using sex workers.

Most disgraceful is the fact that MPs supporting such a ban include Barbara Follet MP at the Government Equalities Office, Harriet Harman MP, Cabinet Minister for Women and Equality, and Maria Eagle MP, ex-Disability Minister!

Prostitution and disability are both taboo subjects. We hope you will be brave enough to write on the subject of disabled people using sex workers without fear of the wrath of the fundamentalist feminists who continually insist that all sex work is violence to women.

If you read this website carefully, you will learn otherwise.
