The current Queensland sex industry is comprised of a number of different sectors.
\nWhilst legalisation has created a \u2018legal\u2019 sector in the sex industry, our industry continues
\nto operate mostly outside the law. \u2018Legal\u2019 workers, both in brothels and those who work
\nprivately, have not been effectively consulted in relation to the success of the legislative
\nregime. Their stories remain unheard. The questionnaire distributed as part of the CMC
\nsurvey in 2004 did not effectively allow legal workers to have an input into the
\nlegislation of which they are subject. Rather than measuring workplace improvement for
\nsex workers, the survey involved a variety of offensive and unnecessarily invasive
\nquestions which led many workers not to participate. Questions about violence in
\npeople\u2019s backgrounds and sexual assault implicitly assume a link between sex work and
\nviolence\/abuse\/sexual assault. Our feedback clearly reveals that this line of questioning put many sex workers off responding to the survey. The return rate of just 65 (total)
\nsurveys is a disappointing outcome.
\nOur submission to the inquiry into Escort work is by no means a comprehensive
\nconsultation with sex workers in Queensland, however we aim to provide an overview of
\nthe issues relevant to our constituents and future law reform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
