However many issues still remain, particularly that of a gender specific impact; the imagery and ethos of these establishments bear a much greater effect on how women are percived and it is important that this is addressed. Especially as there is evidnce of an increase in the numbers of sexual assaults of women in the vicinity of lap dancing clubs: http://www.eaves4women.co.uk/Documents/Recent_Reports/Inappropriate_Behaviour_2007.pdf
We hope to keep you up to date with this issue and please see our ‘Sexism on the Streets’ page for a gallery of sexist imagery around Liverpool.

LIVERPOOL CROWN COURT CASE RE BNP MEMBER PETER TIERNY - MONDAY 15thMARCH 9am
There is a very important court case being held at Liverpool Crown Court which starts on Monday 15th March when Peter Tierney an active BNP member faces charges of assault.
Again, a leading member of MCARF and two others are key witnesses. All three are members of Unite – 2 with 6/522 and the other with the Clerical branch at University of Liverpool.
MCARF THEREFORE REQUEST ALL TRADE UNIONS AND ANTI RACISTS/FASCISTS TO ATTEND THE DEMO AGAINST THE BNP AND TO SUPPORT THE 3 WITNESSES FROM 9am ON MONDAY 15TH MARCH.
This is the first time in Liverpool that a senior member of the BNP has been charged with violence and we therefore imagine that the BNP will organise a turnout to support their fascist member Peter Tierney.
