Leeds ReSisters: Women protest against the Managed Approach

[stumbledin]

Leeds women are angry that the Council has decided to continue with the Managed Approach in Holbeck, after Independent Review ‘whitewash’.

Local women, under the banner of Leeds ReSisters, are protesting against the Council’s decision to continue with the Managed Approach.

This Friday, 28th August 2020, at 7am, we displayed a huge banner within the area under the Managed Approach. The banner read:

“City of Punters #WomenFriendlyCity #ChildFriendlyLeeds #Leeds2023”

For complete artilce and great pics uncommongroundmedia.com/leeds-resisters-women-protest-against-the-managed-approach/

Also - respect due for keeping up the campaigning despite Covid etc..

Well done, Leeds Resisters.

We use the terms ‘prostitution’ and ‘prostituted women’, in deference to survivors of prostitution, who ask us not to use terms that confuse sexual exploitation with any form of work.

There is no way to ‘manage’ prostitution, because prostitution is inherently unsafe. The interior of a woman’s body can never be a workplace.

^ This.
Thanks for the link and thank you Resisters.

I can't see the link for some reason but great work, and many props for doing it with everything else going on! It's such a disgrace that this "zone" exists.

I found a “Leeds feminist” site too, but all its links are to “transwomen are women” groups. So not what I’d recognise as pro-women.
