Asian Migrant Sex Worker Advisory Group (AMSWAG)

Scarlet Alliance’s Migration Project was conducted with the guidance of regular steering committee meetings with sex workers from Chinese, Korean and Thai language backgrounds, as these are the languages most commonly used in the migrant sex worker community. This funded project delivered resources, research and advocacy for migrant sex workers until it was defunded in 2017. The steering committee members then become the Asian Migrant Sex Worker Advisory Group (AMSWAG) with the intention to further develop and expand the existing resource and service delivery to CALD background and migrant sex workers. 

The AMSWAG meets as regularly as possible to provide expert advice and representation within Scarlet Alliance and actively works towards guaranteeing the rights of all migrant sex workers.
