#NoShameJobHere - Decolonise Sex Work Campaign

Our campaign #NoShameJobHere has officially kicked off and we're keen to continue the discussion and movement First Nations Sex Workers before us have fought and worked so hard for. We not only face criminalisation of sex work, we also face the everyday criminalisation of being Blak in society.The goal is to raise awareness to Indigenous (& non Indigenous) people and communities, showcase Indigenous Sex Workers and their stories, build more resources so that we ultimately can create safe and supportive Cultural spaces for Sex Working mob and as all funding for our campaign has been by private donations or out of pocket, we will be accepting public donations to further our campaign work and support Indigenous Sex workers.  Funds will be divided up and distributed to: • Public education and Campaign work: organizing teach-ins and workshops, public art campaigns and art commissions, merchandise for fundraising causes, sit-downs with Indigenous associations and community boards.• Cultural safety training and Sex Work education workshops for Indigenous organizations and Sex trade spaces. • The Scarlet Alliance (Australian Sex Workers Association) -  Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advisory Group - to directly go back into funding and support for Indigenous Sex Workers. How do we decolonise and destigmatise Indigenous sex work in Australia? Decolonising Sex Work is changing the way we perceive Indigenous Sex work and parting it from imperialistic views. Sex work is generally taboo in Indigenous communities and we need to break the cycle and stop perpetuating the stigma when its affecting our Mob mentally and physically. We need to start humanizing Sex work in all our communities and include Blak Sex Working voices in Indigenous movements. We face criminalisation everyday of our lives from not only being Blak but because of the jobs we choose. We are human just like everyone else. We're Aunties, Uncles, Brothers, Sisters, Cousins, Mothers and Fathers. We deserve to be respected by all including our Mob, not isolated. If you can't help financially please help share the link ♡Join our movement as we fight for full decolonisation, destigmatisation and decriminalisation of Sex Work in Australia. https://twitter.com/DecoloniseSWhttps://www.instagram.com/decolonisesexworkau/
