 Helping sex workers off the street
Following the murder of five women working as prostitutes in Ipswich in 2006, local residents questioned how these women - all on the streets to fund drug addictions - had been quietly ignored for so long. Suffolk County Council responded by setting up a team of social workers, probation and police officers to help women trapped in street prostitution leave the trade. They’ve been working with local charities including the Iceni Project, a drug treatment centre at the forefront of the drive to help Ipswich's sex workers rebuild their lives. Liz Wallace went to meet one of them.
