<p>The Government's priority is to protect those selling sex from harm and exploitation
and target those who exploit vulnerable people involved in prostitution. We believe
that people who want to leave prostitution should be given every opportunity to find
routes out. We continue to work closely with the police, Crown Prosecution Service,
other front-line agencies and wider partners to ensure the legislation achieves these
aims.</p><p>We have provided over £2m to organisations supporting sex workers, including
£650,000 from the Violence Against Women and Girls Service Transformation Fund to
Merseyside PCC, to provide a victim-focused service for sex workers who are victims,
or at risk of sexual or domestic violence and abuse, exploitation or human trafficking.</p>
