Scarlet Alliance "Submission to the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety’s inquiry into the ACT Prostitution Act 1992" 2011

This submission is to the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety’s inquiry into the ACT Prostitution Act 1992. Sex workers are also best placed to identify our needs and the changes necessary to our industry over and above what may be thought to be what we need. This is particularly evident in the frequent calls by those that oppose our work for, above all else, increased exit and retraining resourcing and for the criminalisation of clients (referred to as the Swedish model of Sex Industry regulation) Scarlet Alliance and our membership would ask that the committee take an evidence based approach to policy development and recognise that sex workers ourselves are not supportive of these claims.
