Violence against sex workers is a crime.
About the RhED Ugly Mugs Program.
Ugly Mugs is a violence prevention program that supports sex workers to share information to maintain their safety.
Ugly Mugs was originally started by the Prostitutes Collective of Victoria (PCV) in St Kilda in 1986 and is a system that has been recreated with success by sex worker communities around the world.
If you would like to report client violence, non-payment, and other forms of problematic client interactions see our online reporting form below or Contact a RhED team member on 1800 458 752.
