Danish sex workers are offering free sex to COP15 in order to defend their industry.
Copenhagen Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards to city hotels warning summit guests not to patronize Danish sex workers during the upcoming conference. Now, the prostitutes have struck back, offering free sex to anyone who produces one of the warnings.
Copenhagen's city council in conjunction with Lord Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards out to 160 Copenhagen hotels urging COP15 guests and delegates to 'Be sustainable - don't buy sex'.
"Dear hotel owner, we would like to urge you not to arrange contacts between hotel guests and prostitutes," the approach to hotels says.
Now, Copenhagen prostitutes are up in arms, saying that the council has no business meddling in their affairs. They have now offered free sex to anyone who can produce one of the offending postcards and their COP15 identity card, according to the Web site avisen.dk.
Discrimination
According to the report, the move has been organized by the Sex Workers Interest Group (SIO).
"This is sheer discrimination. Ritt Bjerregaard is abusing her position as Lord Mayor in using her power to prevent us carrying out our perfectly legal job. I don't understand how she can be allowed to contact people in this way," SIO Spokeswoman Susanne Møller tells avisen.dk.
Møller adds that it is reprehensible and unfair that Copenhagen politicians have chosen to use the UN Climate Summit as a platform for a hetz against sex workers.
"But they've done it and we have to defend ourselves," Møller says.

Prostitutes offer free sex to global-warming delegates in Copenhagen
Prostitution is legal in Copenhagen - and free if you're a delegate in an upcoming global warming conference.
Take our Poll
Trick or treat?
Do you think prostitution should be legal?
Yes
No
Global-warming summiteers have been told it's uncool to buy hookers, but prostitutes have turned a trick of their own: heating up the atmosphere in Copenhagen by offering free sex to delegates.
Copenhagen Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard and the city council had postcards sent to 160 hotels urging people coming to town for next weeks UN Climate Change Conference to "be sustainable don't buy sex," according to Spiegelonline.
"Dear hotel owner, we would like to urge you not to arrange contacts between hotel guests and prostitutes," the cards say.
Pols may think enviro delegates should only burn their cash on the kind of hot Danish that goes with coffee, but sending that kind of message got the Sex Workers Interest Group steamed.
"This is sheer discrimination. Ritt Bjerregaard is abusing her position as lord mayor in using her power to prevent us carrying out our perfectly legal job. I don't understand how she can be allowed to contact people in this way," the group's spokeswoman, Susanne Møller, was quoted as saying.
"We have to defend ourselves," Moller said in touting the call girl giveaway, which offers a comp romp to anyone who can produce a warning card and summit ID badge.

Why would that be discrimination Granny, please explain. It's a big world out there Granny and not always the blokes are the ones "in need"...

It's just the way it's worded and the 'service' is being offered. It implies the prostitutes are female and the customers are male. That's where I detected discrimination.
Clearly there are two sides to this profession, but the Copenhagen version implies only the blokes need to indulge.
Perhaps they don't have discrimination laws in that country. They probably don't have the political correctness police either.
