DecrimQLD and RespectQLD are heading the Queensland decriminalisation effort. The wonderful Georgie Wolf has put together an overview of how to get involved and how the current legislation impacts us. You can find the full post here: https://tryst.link/blog/decriminalisation-is-possible-in-queensland-heres-how-you-can-help/ In short though:
"If you’re a sex worker who lives or tours Queensland, you have a role to play in bringing full decrim to the state. The Queensland Law Reform Commission has asked for submissions - your chance to share your experience and emphasise what’s important to you. How? By making a submission to [email protected] by the 3rd of June, 2022.
Making a formal submission can feel daunting, but it’s easier than you might think. Your response can be as simple as a short email outlining your experiences and DecrimQLD, Respect Inc and Scarlet Alliance have produced an information kit with helpful tips and key issues that you can adapt to suit your message.
Elle says, "Submissions don't have to be long or academic. You can simply introduce yourself, talk about the type of sex work you do, and assert that they approve of the submissions put forward by Respect Inc, Decrim Queensland and Scarlet Alliance."
Here are a few key steps for getting involved:
Refer to Respect QLD’s information sheet for key issues and tips on how to word your submission.
Get in touch with the Respect QLD office for assistance. They’re available to help on Wednesday afternoons, 12-5pm & on the 25th of May, 6-8pm. Just drop in to the office or give them a call, and they’ll be able to guide you through the process of writing a submission. If these times don’t suit, contact them for other options.
Submit your response by email to [email protected] by the 3rd of June.
Stay up to date with the latest developments by following #DecrimQLD on Twitter or Instagram, or Respect Inc on Facebook.
Consider getting involved in the campaign. Sex workers in Queensland are invited to become part of the #DecrimQLD committee, which meets once a month in person and online.
If you’re a policy nerd or information geek (as many of us are) you’re welcome to take the time to read the full discussion paper. But it’s not essential."
