Scarlet Alliance

We've been a bit quiet here because we've moved over to Bluesky! Follow us at bsky.app/profile/scarle… and our other socials, including our Linktree at linktr.ee/scarlet_allian… We'll be keeping our X profile for posterity - but won't be monitoring it.

Today is International Sex Worker Rights Day. Sex work is work and sex workers deserve respect, equality, and the same rights and protections as all other workers.

Tonight we march in the 2025 Sydney Mardi Gras. The ‘Sex Workers and Community’ float (a collab with @SWOPNSW) celebrates the diversity and resilience of sex workers. We're still here, marching for our rights—to be respected, treated as equals and be 'free to charge for it'.

Scarlet Alliance is seeking an Additional Referral Pathway to the Support for Trafficked People Program Coordinator. Applications close 11.59pm on Monday 17 March 2025. Current and former sex workers can visit bit.ly/3D3EeYQ for the position description, and to apply.

Certain STIs including herpes, HPV, gonorrhoea and syphilis can be transmitted through kissing, but there are ways to reduce your risk. You cannot get chlamydia, Hepatitis, HIV or trichomoniasis from kissing.

Sex Ed Sunday: It’s a common misconception that you can only get sexually transmitted infections (STIs) from sexual intercourse and oral sex.

It's World #SocialJusticeDay — a reminder to reflect on systemic inequalities and take meaningful action. You can support social justice for sex workers by advocating for decriminalisation and supporting sex worker-led advocacy to amplify our voices in our fight for justice.
