"Prostitution is NOT work"

"Workplace safety also treats prostitutes as half humans not worthy of the same protections āat workā which also indicate it is NOT work.
I work with cell cultures and also infectious organisms including chlamydia, gonorrhoea and many more nasties.
I cannot come in contact with them at work. Unlike a prostitute, I have to use engineering safety measures and handle these organisms inside a HEPA filtered closed cabinet, with gloves, lab coat tied at the back, safety glasses and lots of disinfectants to decontaminate everything so that I do NOT get these organisms in my mouth, eyes or on skin.
A prostitute is expected to have someone elseās body parts (which may also potentially infected) into their mouths, anus or vagina, and body fluids anywhere. How is that workplace safety??
Apparently it has been decided somewhere by someone that prostitutes really want this risk and it is nothing reasonably practical they can do about it, said for condoms...
It is clear, people in governments and many of the public does not think prostitutes are worthy of the same protections as a for example a scientist at work. PPE (gloves and condoms) offer the lowest form of protection, and elimination of the hazard is [not] 100% effective. Further more, condoms offer no protections against physical and psychological violence.
How can it be legal in Australia and other places??? It is fundamentally unsafe and breaks most workplace safety rules.
Prostitution is NOT work."

This is a great read.

If they really considered it work they would follow these safety principles ā¬ļø and the work would be eliminated as not safe.

Prostitution is NOT work. It is paid grape.
Nordic model NOW with the aim of elimination long term.
