It's about time something was done, not just in this country but everywhere, about the lack of rights for sex workers.
Take a look at some of these examples of victims around the world:

Just how many more people have to be stolen from, beaten, tortured, raped, MURDERED before Governments take action.
In this country in almost every other walk of life the basic human rights of an individual are strongly upheld. I just don't hear our Government making any noises, the right noises to do ANYTHING to seriously avert the possibility of more sex workers being murdered for doing their job. The moral outrage following the death of five prostitutes in Ipswich, Suffolk is NOT directed adequately towards addressing just how do we let such people be placed in such a significant danger for their lives. I despair that the reaction of the Government is so minimal, directed predominantly towards blaming the drug culture that prevailed amongst the five victims. It is JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Let's start RIGHT NOW by petitioning the Government to change the way in which we deal with this. I would ask that you attach your comments to my blog and, with adequate support let us take this matter forward.
Thank you.
