With the English Collective of Prostitutes
and the US PROStitutes Collective

The tragic murders of five young women in Ipswich caused an unprecedented outcry. All kinds of people now understand that the criminalisation of consenting sex, whether it targets women
or clients, pushes prostitution underground, and makes women more vulnerable to violence and exploitation. Most attacks are not reported for fear of arrest, or when reported are often dismissed by police. When prostitute women are not safe, no woman is safe.

The launch of the Safety First Coalition to decriminalise sex work is based on New Zealand’s successful experience and looks at viable economic alternatives and appropriate health treatment.
