Salome's Circle: Stripper Advocacy Group in Melbourne Funding Campaign!
Salome’s Circle is a peer support and advocacy group for current—and former—strippers working in the adult entertainment industry in Victoria, Australia. This includes showgirls, topless waitresses and peep show workers. The group also includes members who have moved on to work in other parts of the sex industry. At this current point in time, our membership base has grown to 122 members!
The group came about after discussions of widespread isolation and lack of industry-specific support services. In October 2016, Salome’s Circle was created to address these gaps and to promote greater solidarity among strippers throughout Victoria.
Salome’s Circle is both a support and rights-based advocacy group that meets bi-monthly in the Melbourne CBD and manages a private digital space to collate and share knowledge and information. It is a space to combat social isolation, to debrief, to access transition support if desired, to gain education on doing taxes, to access stripper/exotic dancer friendly services, and to engage in empowerment building.
Currently we are trying to expand our membership base and develop our services. One of the ways we have thought to accomplish this goal is by having a physical presence at Sexpo 2017 in Melbourne. We see this as an opportunity to combat the stigma associated with stripping with the wider public, reach out to those past, current and future strippers to provide information and support, and network with other sex industry organisations present at this annual event.
As an unfunded community group, we are looking to raise money to be able to have a stall in this space and to assist us in being able to hand out brochures and other relevant information on our group and the stripping industry. Please help us to reach out goal so that we can attend this event and grow!
Any funds received above our target will go towards our next project (creating a stripper/exotic dancer magazine) and our group's development!
Any contribution will be hugely appreciated! Please find our donation link here:
