EXCLUSIVE
UCLAN SHOULD OFFER
Sex workers who are students
at UCLan want the university
to actively support their career
choice.
Their call comes after a recent
report by the University of
Swansea revealing that one in
twenty students in the UK have
worked in the sex industry to fund
their studies. The 鍖ndings suggest
that as many as 1500 UCLan
students could be employed in
the sex industry.
Pluto spoke exclusively to three
undergraduates using sex work to
pay their way through uni. They
all highlighted a lack of university
guidance for students in their
position.
Jayme*, a lap dancer, said: I
would want fair treatment from
lecturers if I was outed, and I worry
about the impact on my grades
due to the stigma. She fears that
being named and shamed could
also damage her long-term career
prospects.
Millie*, a student working as an
outcall escort, agreed. Im afraid
that if my lecturers found out
[about my job] I would potentially
lose my place at Uni, she said.
I feel that UCLan is ashamed
of us. Im worried that if [the
university] found out, I may
not get the career I want. The
university could make it easier
for us to access support without
the pressure of lying. I want to be
able to access services without the
pressure to leave my job.
Millie added that UCLan should
tailor services to prevent student
sex workers feeling judged. Sex
workers have suggested holding
an awareness week could be
helpful.
Organisations
including
Prestons Foxton Centre on
Knowsley St provide specialised
services for street-based sex
workers. The centre can also
provide student support if
required. But there isnt currently
any advertised support for sex

The bicycles themselves feature an innovative system, which allows them to communicate with vehicles in close proximity, to avoid collision. Storage The storage system incorporates a UV cleaning system, which will remove all germs and bacteria from various contact points on the bicycle. The use of steam cleaning, will remove all dirt and larger particulates and while in storage the bike is completely theft proof. Through the use of clever design the bike can be accessed easily and be used by the public almost straight away. The monorail, track design acts as a method of release, revealing the bike from its once hidden holding unit. Each individual unit has the capability to be combined with multiple units, to create a dispensary hub.
