YWCA has issued a comment to the press following reports of two Doncaster job centres running adverts for 'webcam models'.

The advertisments were calling for webcam models which involves women sitting naked in front of a webcam and engaging in sexually explicit banter with patrons of the service.

YWCA commented: "This job could lead vulnerable women, who are in dire need of money, into areas that may not be legal such as prostitution.

"The job being advertised encourages young women to take up a role that has risky implications to their personal safety and to choose quick money over career development."

You can read YWCA's comment in The Telegraph, and The Daily Mail.
