MORE than 50 per cent of sex workers are still having to work amid the Covid-19 pandemic while a fresh influx of women have turned to prostitution to survive after being laid off due to the lockdown.
Sex worker Kate McGrew opens up to us about how lockdown measures left them faced with the difficult choice of social-distancing with no income or continuing to carry out in-person work out of necessity at a risk to their own and others’ safety.
In an exclusive interview with the Irish Sun, Kate reveals how over half of sex workers are still having to engage in intimate work despite the number of Covid cases.
The sex worker, artist and activist blasts the Government for providing “a lack of supports for sex workers” despite the industry being hammered by the deadly pandemic, leaving many escorts with “no viable alternatives” to doing their work.
