So what have the WI been up to now? This story in the UK press today really made me smile and think ‘good on them’. Apparently 2 members of the Hampshire WI, at the ages of 62 and 73 have been ‘kerb crawling’ and are now embarking on further research in Amsterdam, US, and New Zealand, as part of a study into the dangers of prostitution!

“When they return they will brief WI members on their findings and submit them as part of a campaign to legalise prostitution and provide greater protection for working girls”

“Mrs Landells, who joined the WI 40 years ago, said: “I joined up to get involved with jam-making and craftwork and never thought I would ever be doing anything like this. “It’s an issue that nobody seems to talk about - certainly nobody in the WI - but it’s so important that we look out for the health and safety of these girls. “I really am the least likely person to be visiting brothels - I’m very conventional I suppose. I imagine I may well be quite upset about things I see.”
