Britain is to ban employers looking for lap dancers, strippers, topless barmaids or sexy web-cam performers from placing adverts1 at Jobcentres.
日前,英国政府宣布将禁止在就业服务中心发布招聘大腿舞舞女、脱衣舞女、裸胸酒吧女招待或性感视频女郎的广告。
Such a ban had previously2 been in place at the taxpayer-funded employment exchanges but that changed seven years ago when Ann Summers, a sex toys and suggestive lingerie(女内衣裤) retailer3, successfully argued at the High Court that it was unlawful.
Now the government plans to legislate4 to protect vulnerable jobseekers who are keen to get back to work from feeling they have to consider jobs that they are not comfortable with, Minister for Employment Chris Grayling said in a statement.
"We shouldn't put vulnerable people in an environment where they're exposed to these types of jobs and could feel under pressure to work in the sex industry."
The statement specified5 that Jobcentres would no longer advertise jobs "that involve the direct sexual stimulation6 of others" because public money should not be a conduit(导管,沟渠) to such work.
However, Jobcentres will continue to advertise other types of vacancies7 in the adult entertainment sector8, such as cleaning jobs in striptease(脱衣舞) clubs.
