WEEP Conference
WEEP INAUGURAL CONFERENCE
South Australian has always led the way in advancing the interests of women. We were the first Australian state to give women the vote. It is now time for us to again lead the way by enacting the Nordic/Equality Model of Prostitution Law Reform. This will enhance the dignity of women and protect the vulnerable. WEEP’s inaugural conference will feature leading experts in the field and will educate and equip you to advocate for this reform.
