Its time to get busy and get involved.Crimson Coalition* is a group of Queensland sex workers and former sex workers who work together to:

· uphold basic rights of sex workers

· have input into Queensland sex industry law reform, health and safety services, industrial relations and community attitudes

· keep each other informed about what is going on in the Queensland sex industry

· find out about legalities of working in different venues: e.g. brothels, private, street, escort etc.· enjoy a safe network of sex industry professionals where you are free to express yourself without fear of judgement and stigma.

· attend peer networked social outings and have some fun!

Queensland Health Meeting

Today members of Crimson Coalition, USNQ (United Sex Workers, North Queensland) and Scarlet Alliance attended a meeting with Queensland Health Communicable Diseases Unit in Brisbane to discuss the results of the recent review of Queensland sex worker needs by Rigmor Berg and Julie Bates.

There was considerable optimism about the probability that a new independant sex worker organisation would be funded to replace SQWISI.
