NWC urges Irish government to prioritize legislation against "sex for rent" exploitation affecting vulnerable women.
The National Women's Council of Ireland (NWC) is urging the government to prioritize legislation against "sex for rent" exploitation, which disproportionately affects vulnerable women, including those facing homelessness and domestic violence. Despite previous commitments, no laws have been enacted, allowing landlords to continue these exploitative practices. The NWC recommends criminalizing such arrangements to protect women from having to choose between sexual exploitation and housing insecurity.
