#Repost @actualsexworkers (@get_repost)・・・Today’s #feministdebt is owed to trans sociologist and Australian sex worker rights elder Roberta Perkins. Roberta was vital to the establishment of Sex Worker Outreach Project (SWOP) New South Wales, and worked tirelessly to ensure the Wood Royal Commission into Police Corruption followed through on reccomending the decriminalisation of sex work on New South Wales. Via the establishment of the Sydney Gender Centre, she was also able to pioneer outreach aimed at trans workers, both private and street based. Roberta has written and edited numerous texts detailing the history of Australian sex work laws and activism, including Sex and Sex Workers in Australia (1994).Many of the working conditions local and visiting sex workers benefit from in New South Wales were due to Roberta’s efforts both past and present. This serves as a reminder to be thankful and acknowledge our elders.#feministdebt #elder #sexworkisrealwork #transpride #actualsexworkers #whorebusinessnotyourbusiness #IWD #IWD2018 -- source link
