A new project in #Germany is retraining prostitutes to become care workers for elderly people.
The state of North Rhine-Westphalia is using €1m (£0.7m; $1.2m) of local and European Union money to try to get #sex trade workers off the street and into care homes.
Heinz Oberlach, from Germany’s Federal Labour Agency, said that using #prostitutes as care workers is “very logical,” as the nursing home sector is seriously understaffed and has some 6400 vacancies nationwide—despite a national unemployment rate of 12% in Germany. Reasons for the shortage include a recent clampdown on Eastern Europeans working illegally as care workers and the reluctance of Germans to take on the work.

We’ll remember.
We’ll remember anyone who will have given us a hand in this emergency, and who will have denied us any kind of help.
Our warmest thanks to the ones and blame on the others.
Editorial: November
- Ibrahim Hewitt, Chairman of the Trustees
As the siege of Gaza enters its 10th year, the blockade looks to only grow tighter. Frequently referred to as the ‘largest open air prison’ on Earth, Gaza’s population is reaching crisis levels. The Strip’s two millionth resident, Walid Shaath, born just last month now faces a harsh winter ahead.
The birth of baby Walid calls to attention the growing concern as to what a lack of resources and opportunities will engender in an already frustrated population. This milestone should encourage us to revitalise our efforts to ensure that baby Walid can pursue a future free from oppression and occupation.
Recently we marked a milestone of our own. For 22 years you have helped us in our mission to help Palestinians in need. Whilst it is dispiriting that the situation on the ground has lasted this long, it is important to keep our commitment to the cause. I personally wish to thank you all for your support over the years and hope that you will continue to help us for as long as our work is needed.

Happy June! We’re celebrating a lot of marginalized experiences this month. If you would like to help an Indigenous queer get by in honor of some of those communities, I could really use a boost!
UI didn’t pay me this week and I need meds + medical supplies. RB this or donate to help me get about $75 so I can get the stuff I need?
