International Sex Worker Rights Day
2026-03-03 | QLD
This day’s history goes back to 2001, when over 25,000 sex workers gathered in India for a festival despite efforts from prohibitionist groups who tried to prevent it taking place by pressuring the government to revoke their permit. The event was organised by Durbar Mahila Samanwaya Committee, a Calcutta based group that has over 50,000 sex worker members, and members of their communities. Sex worker groups across the world have subsequently celebrated 3 March as an annual, international event, as International Sex Workers’ Rights Day.

Transgender Awareness Week
2025-11-12 - 2025-11-19 | QLD
For a week in November events and protests will highlight the voices of trans activists and organisers in most capital cities. This is an opportunity for the sex worker movement to stand up alongside other movements, calling for an end to incarceration of black and trans folk, decriminalisation of sex work, and justice for members of our community who died in custody.
Veronica Baxter was a black trans sex worker who died in custody in 2009. Her passing and subsequent coronial inquest are an ongoing reminder of the ongoing physical and political violence perpetuated by the colony against black and trans bodies.
CJ Palmer is a trans woman living with HIV who experienced “manifestly excessive” sentencing in 2018 (reduced on appeal) and held in a maximum security male prison including in solitary confinement for four years. After release she was sent immediately to an immigration detention facility. In 2023 her lawyers challenged her deportation. CJ’s strong and lasting connections to the HIV, trans and sex worker communities were expressed.
Both Veronica and CJ were denied access to hormones while incarcerated in male prisons.
