Women still face sex-trade in the workplace
Almost 9 out of 10 lap dancing clubs in London provide ‘discreet receipts’ so employees can visit and claim the money back from their employer. Hooray! Or not, as the Fawcett Society has found in their recent survey (well, I say don’t Fawcett). 26% of trade unions have received enquiries from employees who have been exposed to the sex industry - including pornography - at work – demeaning the status of female staff. Kat Banyard, campaigns officer at the Fawcett Society, said: “The sex industry is increasingly focusing on the corporate market, with lap dancing clubs marketing themselves as ideal venues to host meetings and client entertaining.” See you at the next meeting Kat: mind where you shelve that motion!
