No job no excuse for turning down sex work

In No job no excuse for turning down sex work, it is revealed that:

A 25-year-old waitress who turned down a job providing "sexual services" at a brothel in Berlin faces cuts to her unemployment benefit under laws introduced this year.

This is because

Under Germany's welfare reforms, any woman under 55 who has been out of work for more than a year can be forced to take an available job or lose her unemployment benefit. ...

So much for human dignity. Workfare is just punishment for being cast as a failure. Don't punish the oppressors, punish the oppressed! Since the system is run by the oppressors, how can you expect anything else?
