Sex work should be decriminalised, not legalised. This is what Sex Workers want and it's what we should want and support too!
DECRIMINALISATION
- In a decriminalised setting sex workers are more empowered to negotiate with clients.
- Sex workers can attend health and other services and expect a non-discriminatory service.
- Other legislation covers a broad range of issues including sexual & labour exploitation, in both commercial & private contexts.
- Industrial legislation has zoning laws for business that can be applied to sex businesses.
- Sex workers can report violence without fear of arrest & expect a rightful prosecution.
- Corruption decrease as authorities have less power to demand bribes from sex workers, and sex workers can report corruption.
- Existing Occupational Health & Safety legislation can help sex workers to secure better worker places.
