A new law makes it legal for sex workers to operate on Victoria‘s streets. The change comes after lawmakers decided sex workers would feel safer and be able to access support more easily. Consumer Affairs Minister said the shift was “an important milestone for sex work decriminalisation in Victoria.”
Ingrid Stitt, Workplace Safety Minister in Victoria, explained that everyone deserves to feel safe at work: “With a dedicated Sex Work Safety Team within WorkSafe, we’ll make sure sex work is regulated appropriately, with the best guidance and procedures in place to keep workers safe.” International studies have shown that allowing sex workers to solicit sex “doesn’t increase sex work, it just makes it safer,” the Workplace Safety Minister said. “It just enables those sex workers to be able to report crimes against them and, given the nature of the work, they can often be vulnerable to that.”
