Rally calling for the decriminalisation of sex work in South Australia

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 17/05/2011 - 6:21pm

Location:

Steps of parliament house, North Trc, Adelaide

South Australian sex work laws criminalising sex workers date back to the 1930's. The laws are harmful to sex workers, discriminatory and out of date. Police regularly raid suspected brothels, arrest sex workers, use condoms and other safe sex info as evidence, harass and intimidate sex workers.

We are the last state in Australia to not revisit our sex industry laws and as a result sex workers are being forced to put police evasion techniques before safety strategies.

Report on Adelaide 2011 World Nude Bike Ride

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 13/03/2011 - 5:43pm

On March 12th, nude cyclists joined the worldwide movement for peace, sane transport and cyclists rights by cycling through Adelaide. After meeting up in Vic Square, we made off for the Secret HQ and got stripped down and painted up. I think I speak for everyone when I say, this was some serious, hardcore fun. Slogans from ranged from "I heart Cycling" to "C ME NOW?".

We headed through ALL Adelaide's most densely populated streets, ensuring plenty of exposure. This included some on the fly organizing, which ended in photographers waiting for us out the front of the Advertiser building.

Support the victims of the recent floods, bush fires and cyclones
- Real climate action now - serious emissions cuts
- 100% Renewables by 2020

There have already been too many deaths from the recent tragic climate related disasters, and a changing climate means these once rare events are likely to increase in frequency and extremity.
...
But we still have time to avoid the worst impacts of climate change if we act now and mobilise as a community to demand a safe climate future.

If not us, who? If not now, when?
