Prostitutes Ed Damer
Joan wanted a uniformed organisation to deter women from becoming prostitutes. She used the First World War to develop a foothold in police work. This effort aimed to protect vulnerable women during the conflict. Margaret Damer Dawson co-founded this service. Dawson was shocked to discover British men at railway stations attempting to recruit Belgian refugees as prostitutes. This exploitation spurred her into action. The organisation adopted police ranks like Sergeant and Inspector, re-naming itself the Women Police Service. Sir Edward Henry, Commissioner, supported their efforts.
