#JulieBindel advocates making it illegal to buy sex, an approach taken by a number of European countries, including France. While I think this could be a step forward for countries like the US, where they still criminalizing sex workers and others involved in the business, I think it would be a step backwards for countries like #NZ where sex work has been fully decriminalized. What's the difference between criminalizing buying sex and criminalizing sex outside marriage?

  Julie Bindel - Come on feminists, ditch the makeup bag
  
  from Radio New Zealand
  
  Julie Bindel is a journalist, writer, broadcaster and researcher. She has been active in the global campaign to end violence towards women and children since 1979 and has written extensively on rape, domestic violence, sexually motivated murder, prostitution and trafficking, child sexual exploitation, stalking, and the rise of religious fundamentalism and its harm to women and girls. Bindel has authored over 30 book chapters and reports, she writes regularly for The Guardian, New Statesman, and the Sunday Telegraph among others, and appears regularly on the BBC and Sky News. She recently wrote an editorial in The Independent entitled Come on feminists, ditch the makeup bag. It's a far more radical statement than burning your bra.
