Sex Work and COVID

The sex industry has been rocked by lockdowns, lack of financial support and increased policing over the course of the pandemic. Many workers have been crying out for help and the industry has rallied together to fundraise and support each other. But has assistance come in the form of sweeping reforms and decriminalisation in Victoria? We chat to a sex worker, the head of Victoria’s peer-run sex worker organisation, and the MP who spearheaded the changes to find out more.

All episodes are written, researched, recorded and produced by students of the RMIT Graduate Diploma of Journalism.
