Significant changes to sex work in Victoria

As part of the decriminalisation, sex workers will now have the same rights as other industries, with new reforms to increase safety, reduce stigma, and improve access to health and police services.

Sex workers have reported working conditions as unsafe, with violence and unsafe sex often part of the gig.In a joint statement, Australian sex workers associations Scarlett Alliance and Vixen Collective said the move was a positive and urgently overdue change. Vixen Collective spokesperson Dylan O’Hara said current laws meant sex workers were forced to make choices based on the dangerous and unworkable requirements of the licensing system rather than health and safety.“The Victorian government’s recognition that sex work is work and that police are not suitable regulators of the sex industry is significant in its aspiration to afford the benefits of decriminalisation already experienced by NSW and Northern Territory,” they said.

“ a signal to other jurisdictions in Australia that it is time to take an evidence and rights-based approach to sex work to support the safety, self-determination and wellbeing of sex workers and our communities.”

And so society plunges further and further into debauchery repent 'For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.' Ecclesiastes 12:14
