Petition Replace the word "prostitute" in legislation with "sex worker"
Just change the wording in law/legislation from prostitute to sex worker.
More details
"Prostitute" has been previously used as a derogatory term. It is often no longer used in the police service. We think it could help build rapport with the most vulnerable women if the Gov, CPS, law etc is using better terminology for these vulnerable women and men.
I find many people are upset by the word prostitute being used in legalisation still, but I had not seen any petitions asking for this to changed, hence me wanting to start this petition.
