Street Based Sex Workers Of St Kilda
In the heart of Melbourne's iconic St Kilda, a hidden world exists, one often overlooked and misunderstood and only one part of a very diverse Sex-Work industry, the lives of Street-Based Sex Workers, shedding light on their daily struggles, resilience, and the complex realities they face as well as the 30+ year history in St Kilda's connection with Street Based Sex Workers.
We spoke with the individual Street Sex Workers and they lead us to the St Kilda Gatehouse, offering specialist support services where we learned about the community care that is available.

    How many came from good families and getting themselves hooked on heroin it’s a shame a very sad story beautiful young woman being caught up in the dark underbelly of Melbourne’s drug scene thank Andrews signing Melbourne to strong cities a George Soros initiative the authorities need to crack down on immigrant drug dealers and local born dealers to prevent kids getting caught in this mess. A lot of rehabilitation and job support counselling and for transsexuals too as a society we need to help these people nothing wrong with people who work as sex workers but it needs to be regulated and more support some are young enough to be saved and men who harm them when caught minimum 10yrs jail or deal it’s a disgrace that more money spent on facilities allowing drug abuse instead of forced empathetic and compassionate support centres to rehabilitate these poor young people who may have no family members willing to help or incapable to help never judge them for what they’re doing you have no idea what how or who brought them to this point. The problem is that government has swept the seriousness of domestic violence abuse and negligence these poor souls have suffered. Help them and build there inner peace if one is saved then a centre not jail a centre that actually cares about them

    What many were too frightened to say is the reason they won't go to police to report crime isn't just legal concerns but many of the police are tied I with the very powerful crime rings that have ruled st kilda for decades. To say anything is to invite at least a beating or to be suicided. It is an extremely dangerous place that those unexplored to criminal ways couldn't comprehend. A friend sold crank ( sinilar to todays meth) there in 80s....he got from painters and dockers who paid off drug cops. He witnessed a torture execution one time when he went to buy a supply. Eventually the police beat him up and he had to leave or he too would have been suicided.....by the police!

    Near 20 yrs ago, met a worker in the depths of Winter in St Kilda, named Emma. She was a heroin addict, heavily pregnant, who said her other two babies had been taken by the State. Still wonder what happened too her, and those kids. She was really kind even though I was a total stranger. She offered me a GFE, but I didn't know what it was.

      The police make too much illicit money to care......it appears less corrupt than ago but it is very much so. A serious investigation with the teeth to punish and change is needed but if you have leverage on those capable of that it will never happen .....and so the evil continues

      It’s not just St Kilda street prostitution is rife your suburban home next door or high rise apartment could be a brothel it’s rife throughout Melbourne big syndicate’s and individuals who are sex workers and hundreds of registered brothels probably makes Hamburg look like a comedy skit.
