This is a news report from Ireland. Almost one in 10 men in Ireland north and south have paid for sex but not on a regular basis, a poll has found as part of a campaign against the sex trade.
The Red C poll surveyed 1,033 over-18s in mid-March as part of the European Commission’s Reach Project to raise awareness of trafficking as a form of violence against women and girls. It found:
• 88 per cent of Irish men have never bought sex – eight per cent have, but not regularly;
• 72 per cent of those surveyed believe women who sell sex were forced into it by difficult circumstances;
• 62 per cent believe that women who sell sex have been pimped or trafficked into the sex industry;
• 60 per cent believe that the primary reason men buy sex is because of sexual practices their partners are not willing to engage in;
• 79 per cent of people believe criminal gangs or pimps profit most from prostitution and trafficking in Ireland while only eight per cent believe the women who sell sex are the main beneficiaries.
