32. Somebody You Love got decrim! ...or did they? (Jules Kim, Dylan O'Hara)

Somebody You Love

02/17/22 • 59 min

Today on the show we have a very special episode focusing on the most recent developments in the sex work decrim space. On Thursday 10th February, the Sex Work Decriminalisation Bill 2021 was passed in Victorian parliament and, while we have all been celebrating the extraordinary work of everyone who contributed to this historic milestone, it has been somewhat bittersweet. Dylan O’Hara, the Acting Manager of Vixen, Victoria's peer only sex work organisation, and Jules Kim, the CEO of Scarlet Alliance, Australian Sex Workers Association, join Holly & Jenna to explain the good and the bad.
