Violence against sex workers is a crime.
Ugly Mugs is a violence prevention program that supports sex workers to share information to maintain their safety.
Ugly Mugs was originally started by sex workers in St Kilda in 1988 and is a system that has been recreated with success by sex worker communities around the world.
