The second step would be to increase the supports for sex workers, especially marginalized workers, because there will still be a stigma that will exist even after decriminalization.

We need funding for organizations like Peers Victoria, Maggie's and all the alliance groups who are working on the ground to provide really vital resources to generations who have experienced abuse and discrimination.
