  • Hate crimes against sex workers

    • Reference: 2013/4701
    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 18 December 2013
    I have heard reports that police are dismissing sex workers after they experience attacks and try to report the offence. Will you take a stand and also recommend to the Commissioner that crimes against sex workers are treated as hate crimes, or an equivalent escalated crime type, to ensure no officers treat sex workers in this way, putting them at heightened risk?

  • Soho brothel raids

    • Reference: 2013/4704
    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 18 December 2013
    After the Newham raids in 2011 there was no effective support in place or any follow-up work and women ended up working on the streets in Ilford. Similar large-scale raids took place in Soho on the 4 December 2013. Do you know what processes to support the women, found on brothel raids, are now in place so that these women have not ended up being even more vulnerable?
  • Soho raids and victim focus

    • Reference: 2013/4705
    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 18 December 2013
    On 4 December 2013 brothel raids took place which aimed to find vulnerable, at-risk trafficking victims; however the police brought the Evening Standard to the raid and allowed them to publish photos of the women (who tried to hide their faces but could possibly be recognised by their hair and clothes etc). If police are looking for vulnerable trafficking victims, do you think they should avoid creating further stigmatization and risk, and not allow the media to take pictures of them?
