The Commission for Gender Equality together with other organisation including Sex Workers’ Education and Advocacy Taskforce held a working group regarding decriminalisation of sex workers in Glenwood.
 
This is after reports emerged that members of the Community Policing Forum in Glenwood assaulted sex workers by showering them with pepper spray to chase them away.
 
Sex Workers’ Education and Advocacy Taskforce Director Sally Shackleton says they wanted to engage with this residence association but also make clear that it is not legal to intimidate sex workers.
 
Shackleton further said they feel there is a more sustainable response that could be engaged with.
