She is a staunch advocate for criminalising discrimination against sex workers, and is campaigning for sex work to become a protected characteristic under the Equality Act.

The Challenge
SEX WORKERS FACE WIDESPREAD DISCRIMINATION AND PREJUDICE IN SOCIETY
Sex workers are heavily discriminated against in society, not only facing moral censure but also discrimination when it comes to housing, banking and employment.
Discrimination only makes sex workers more vulnerable and can help traffickers, rogue clients, and rogue agencies to flourish. Those who discriminate and shame are part of the problem. The sex industry is the oldest profession in the world, fulfilling a deep social need. It is not going anywhere, especially in light of the cost-of-living crisis.
Sex workers earn their living just like any other professional. It is time to end the prejudice that forces sex workers into the shadows once and for all.
Ending the discrimination of sex work once and for all
