Most people quote the 1999 stat, rounded up to 80,000 individuals, and they found that out by asking how many support projects there were, how many clients they had and added it up. I think it’s nowhere near what it needs to be. I don’t think we even know the lengths or breadths. It depends how you define it – is it those who “choose” it and those who don’t? It’s hard to define because it becomes so political. Our point to the Home Affairs Select Committee was ‘Why can’t we even estimate?’ Surely they should have a more current number. But there’s no political will, the projects are polarised – either pro sex work, or see it as harmful or are abolitionist. I don’t think that helps the women themselves.
