  • An uncompromising look at the lives of sex workers in an area of Leeds where, if you're buying or selling sex, you won’t get arrested.
    The red light zone was introduced to try and make the lives of the women who work there safer. We meet the sisters who work together on the streets, as they talk candidly about how every night they put their lives at risk. And as one of them describes how they were brutally attacked, we ask - is this pioneering experiment is working?

    • @strangeways4530
      @strangeways4530 6 лет назад +7

      mr emir It goes much deeper than that with these ladies. I think you may be seeing their vulnerability and issues and mistaking it for desperation. They aren't exactly wife material and I don't think they'd want to be. They are married to the drugs and it's very hard to stop. I have had drug problems myself.....it's much deeper than just turning them into something.
      You'd give up within a week seeing how hard it is to stop an addiction. It's nice you think you can help them but I spy with my little eye you only want to do such a thing to be a uk citizen. I'm British and live in London and want out it's not all that lol.

      How many women do you think are called Samantha in the 65 million people who live in the UK? For someone who is called Sammy Jo, why wasn't her shop called Sammy Jo's? If I was trying to rip you off you seem to be quite gullible to be honest. A lot of these people lie constantly.

      If she was lying or not, most addicts fail because they have no experience of having a normal life, so the prospect of having a normal life, with a normal job is so overwhelming they give up before they even give it a proper chance. Everyone deserves a chance for a better life, but when you don't have a clue how to be normal what are they supposed to do?? Even if it wasn't her shop, who knows it could be one day!! 🤯

      @rainbowrose9299 Год назад

      @@simonyip5978 Why do you think she would lie? She started taking customers at that place around 2015. I have seen this on the internet website. She may have had family helping her or used her own finances whether clean or not and depending on how much money you make it's possible. She may have been going through a period of being clean and still earning money working the streets or escorting who knows and if she wasn't using believe me she would be could make alot of money if she wanted to. She may have got some finance herself or through someone else. A sugar daddy or the bank. Do you think she is going to speak about the type of stuff her clients ask her to do and then feel like she has to lie about having a business? What would be the reason? She obviously made it happen through whatever means and she went down hill again and that's it. People are very capable. I know somebody who was a drug addict and alcoholic and a prostitute with a long and painful addiction relapsing and since then has become the CEO of a drug rehab centre and a drug service organisation, been to university and helped others get and stay clean and secure employment. Some are great leaders and can secure funding and organise and influence policies and procedures and the government. You would be surprised.

      Meowingtons_64 Her accent is a bit strong for me to understand, but what I gathered is they were sold. At another point she said something about having to pay to have them looked after. I'm just assuming here, but I think the boyfriend sold them and is making her think she's paying to have them looked after, but he's pocketing the money. He probably sold them to be slaughtered, otherwise he'd just take her to the place where he sold them.

The families suffer because it’s out of control and impossible to help someone who doesn’t want to help themselves. Living with an addict is a constant roller coaster of emotions. Absolutely heartbreaking. Most people take drugs to mask inner pain.

    Even when I was an addict myself I used to marvel at how other addicts had hobbies like this woman with her quails because heroin and crack are so all consuming you just automatically assume everyone else in the scene’s life revolves around getting money and nothing else. It’s almost a shock to see other addicts as human beings with passions and hopes and dreams because as a defence mechanism you learn to see everyone as a money acquiring machine in a zero sum game who has only one purpose in mind. It’s just safer that way

      @@kelhimacmillan5675 congratulations! How many mg of methadone are you on now? If you taper down very slowly it’s not as bad as everyone says coming off. I tapered to 1mg then jumped off because the 1mg wasn’t even doing anything but it gave me a soft landing. Definitely not comfortable but way better than a rattle off heroin or 10-20mg methadone. Might want to ask for Zopiclone/diazepam to help with sleep and maybe gabapentin but on the other hand you don’t want to become too dependent on those. I relied quite heavily on diazepam to come off for the first week and then coming off that the second week wasn’t too fun but still better than a normal rattle. You won’t feel ‘normal’ for a month or two. That’s normal. For me it was about 2 months after stopping that I started to sleep better and feel normal again. Good luck!

    For anyone wondering what happened to the quails I did some digging and found out! Apparently the guy minding them was raided by the police for drugs and the quails were rescued. Two of the quails were so impressed by the officers who rescued them that they trained to become quail police themselves. I couldn't find out much else apart from one of the quails now works in the city of London trading bird seed futures and makes a very good living.

    Being a hairdresser myself the sadness of Sammie losing her shop must be so profoundly sad for her. Hope someday I read she got cleaned up and back to running her own salon.

    This made me a little sick to my stomach to think about the filth they are living in. Your lives are worth so much more than that.

    For everybodies info benefits have been reduced, it's universal credit out of which you have to pay the full rent and 10% council tax. That is why rent arrears have increased by a huge percentage. No more rent direct to the Landlord from the council's housing benefit section. The new system is rubbish.

    • @lanaspi4578

      Denise G- Hill so benefits are called universal credit now? Thanks so much for that info coz I was watching the bbc series on the homeless girls called homeless and drugs or something very similar and jelly one of the chicks was applying for her universal credit and I thought it was a loan or something so thanks for clearing that up for me.
