Decriminalisation of non-production of books of accounts where payment made in kind announced New Delhi, Feb 1 (SocialNews.XYZ) Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Sunday proposed a set of direct tax proposals aiming at rationalising penalty and prosecution, to integrate assessment and penalty proceedings by way of a common order for both to avoid multiplicity of proceedings. Non-production of books of account and documents, and the requirement of TDS payment, where payment is made in kind, are being decriminalised.

Diapo 1: toutes les pages on un fond dégradé rose, violet et bleu. En bas de toutes les diapos, on retrouve le logo de Nous toutes et de Jasmine. Titre : « POUR UNE POLITIQUE PUBLIQUE DU TRAVAIL DU SEXE, FONDÉE SUR LES DROITS, L’ANTIRACISME, LA SANTÉ ET LE FÉMINISME » en bas à droite, il y a un symbole d’un index nous indiquant de tourner la page.

Diapo 2: « Depuis plusieurs jours, le débat public sur le travail du sexe est capturé par deux discours en apparence opposé mais fondamentalement convergente : celui du MOUVEMENT DIS ABOLITIONNISTE et celui du RASSEMBLEMENT NATIONAL. » à côté du texte, on retrouve l’illustration d’une d’une personne de dos, portant un parapluie rouge qui marche.

Diapo 3: « D’un côté, le Mouvement d’une Nid publie un rapport mobilisant une méthodologie biaisée pour ATTRIBUER L’ENSEMBLE DES VULNÉRABILITÉS DES TRAVAILLEUSES DU SEXE (TDS) À LA PROSTITUTION ELLE-MÊME. De l’autre, le rassemblement national (RN), qui propose de ROUVRIR DES MAISONS CLOSES. »

Diapo 4: À droite, une personne représentée de profil, aux cheveux noirs, portant un haut violet et un jean. À gauche, un texte indique : « Ces deux approches partagent un même angle mort : L’INDICATION DE L’EXPERTISE DES PREMIÈRES CONCERNÉES et LA PROMOTION DE POLITIQUE RÉPRESSIVES qui aggravent la précarité, la santé et la sécurité des TDS. »

☂️ ​Travail du sexe : Halte à l’hypocrisie répressive ✊

​Le débat actuel est pris en étau entre abolitionnisme moralisateur et propositions de contrôle du RN (maisons closes).

I'm struggling to decide which idea to pitch for a #Discworld con; too many choices! Discworld & vernacular theory? The #SmallGods of the Internet? #SeamstressesGuild & the #decriminalisation of sex work? Or go out on a limb and develop my thoughts about Tiffany, #MaoMao & the "sin of ignorance"??

Families on the Frontline: What the First Sitting of the Drugs Committee Reveals About Ireland’s Broken System On 25 September, the Joint Committee on Drugs Use held its first public sitting in Leinster House. The topic? Family supports and the ripple effect of addiction.

Ireland’s drug policy isn’t just failing individuals, it’s failing families.

The first sitting of the Drugs Committee (25/09/25) exposed the hidden harm, stigma, and neglect families face every day.

Opportunities for drug diversion improvements demonstrated in the UK The scientific evidence is clear, and has been for a long time, that drug issues need to be treated as a health issue not as a police issue.

Haze of confusion in Thailand as government flips on cannabis law New rules banning recreational cannabis use have put Thailand’s $1bn cannabis industry in limbo, with some stores fearing they will have to close

Interesting article on Thailand becoming the 3rd ever country to recriminalise #cannabis after decriminalisation leaving the booming cannabis economy in limbo.

How Can Drug Decriminalization Be Built to Last? Decrim policies exist in 39 countries, but their details vary wildly. Realistic expectations are key to avoiding backlash, experts say.

Good piece from @filtermag.bsky.social on both the importance and limitations of #decriminalisation. With quotes from Alison Ritter and @idpc.net Jamie Bridge.

MPs vote to decriminalise abortion for women in England and Wales Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi led the call to decriminalise the 1% of abortions that happen after 24 weeks.

#GoodNews on #AbortionRights - #CampaigningWorks.
I started working on this issue in 2007 with existing rights under attack.

I said then we had to campaign for #decriminalisation and not just defend. Finally worked!
