Scotland’s abolition bill: How Australia must go further

Emma and Luci examine Scotland’s pioneering Prostitution (Offences and Support) Bill and what it means for the rights, safety, and dignity of women and girls everywhere. They provide a serious, evidence-driven analysis of why shifting criminal accountability to sex buyers, restoring justice for women criminalised by exploitation, and mandating state assistance are vital reforms. Drawing on AAWAA’s submission to the Scottish Parliament and the call for stronger action in Australia—including a National Apology—this discussion sets out a feminist blueprint for principled law reform, survivor support, and lasting change.This podcast provides general information and opinion only and does not constitute legal advice.
