“People who loudly advocate that sex work is real work so it should be decriminalised or legalised completely, say it is the stigma of sex work that makes it dangerous. This is false. It is not the stigma that makes it dangerous. It is the males who are violent because they feel entitled to women’s bodies that are dangerous, whether as a buyer or as a pimp, because the sex industry is inherently violent.”[1] ]]> Site administrator https://www.iktc.co.uk/news/blog/why-we-need-a-council-zero-license-policy-for-sexual-entertainment-venues-in-glasgow/ Mon, 23 Aug 2021 13:43:00 +0100 https://www.iktc.co.uk/news/blog/-fifty-shades-of-grey-saviour-of-relationships-or-abusers-handbook/ By Isabelle Kerr

“The human response to psychological trauma is one of the most important public health problems in the world. Traumatic events such as family and social violence, rapes and assaults, disasters, wars, accidents, and predatory violence confront people with such horror and threat that it may temporarily or permanently alter their capacity to cope, their biological threat perception, and their concepts of themselves. Traumatised individuals frequently develop post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a disorder in which the memory of the traumatic event comes to dominate the victims’ consciousness, depleting their lives of meaning and pleasure.”[1] ]]> Site administrator https://www.iktc.co.uk/news/blog/-understanding-sexual-violence-trauma/ Wed, 28 Jul 2021 14:49:00 +0100
