“Migrant sex workers need increased access to safe migration pathways. However, instead of creating safer migration channels for migrant sex workers, the Australian anti-trafficking response has made it more difficult by increasing border security and implementing stricter visa conditions. Making migration more difficult for migrant sex workers increases vulnerabilities to trafficking. Immigration restrictions impede regular migration for many seeking a better life or working conditions. The Palmero Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organised Crime (the Protocol) highlights the need to discourage the demand that fosters exploitation that leads to trafficking. Increasing immigration scrutiny and reducing legitimate migration pathways in effect, feeds this demand. Increasing access to legal channels for migrant sex workers to independently enter Australia reduces that potential avenue for exploitation.”
