Today Edinburgh MP @tracygilbert72 led a debate in the UK Parliament arguing that websites advertising prostitution contravene Scotland's anti-trafficking law. She has written to Police Scotland & Home Sec.

This week @AMFS & @UK_Feminista's Nina Humphries visited the French National Assembly for a @CAPintl event to mark ten years of France’s abolitionist legislation.
Pimping and paying for sex is a crime, while victims are decriminalised & supported. Scotland's turn next! 👇
This week's vote on @AshReganMSP's #Unbuyable bill was deeply disappointing. But the narrow vote margin & cross-party consensus on the need to outlaw paying for sex mean the next Government must action this reform on day 1.
Change cannot come soon enough. Our statement 👇
Diane Martin CBE, prostitution survivor & chair @scotlandmodel, has written to MSPs voting today on @AshReganMSP's Prostitution Bill.
"The cost of doing nothing is already being paid by the bodies and minds of vulnerable women and girls...We are waiting. And we are watching."
Survivor @SISTERTeenybash CBE, SNP's Ruth Maguire & Labour's @RhodaGrant have written to MSPs urging them to back @AshReganMSP's vital Prostitution Bill at tomorrow's Stage 1 vote.
"The time for action is now."
Full letter 👇
By 16 January, MSPs will vote on whether to shift the burden of criminality off victims of sexual exploitation, on to perpetrators: men who pay for sex.
Email your MSPs now and urge them to back @AshReganMSP's #UnbuyableBill!
