Barbadians who want sex work decriminalized here now have a chance to have their say on whether it becomes a reality.Adult entertainment advocate Charles Charlie Spice Lewis, has started an online petition urging the Mia Mottley-led administration to decriminalize sex work in Barbados and all activities related to the industry with a view to protecting those involved in the trade, minimizing crimes against them and stemming the spread of sexually-transmitted infections.“Everyone residing in Barbados or who comes to Barbados, I am inviting to sign, including expats who live here. If everyone who goes to strip clubs in Barbados and is a subscriber to some type of service or activity with the sex trade here in Barbados, if they were all to sign, I think we would look at about 100 000 people signing.“But again, there is a lot of hypocrisy in Barbados and there is a lot of fear so many people probably will not sign because they are worried about repercussions from their jobs and from their peers and from other sectors of society,” Lewis told Barbados TODAY.
