Adult Sex Workers: Out in all weathers

Stuart George and Katy O'Regan
Contains some scenes of a sexual nature.

Available for over a year

Figures from the local charity Brighter Futures state while around 9 in 10 street workers are addicted to drugs - the number of people in the city who offer sex for money due to welfare reforms is also going up. BBC Radio Stoke's Qasa Alom is taking a look at the issue as part of a special series all this week on Adult Sex Work and went on an outreach ride around the city's red light district with Sam from Brighter Futures. In the final part of his tour he got out of the car and walked the 'beat' to find out what lengths some sex workers go to in order to make money.
