Following the rape of a woman in May 2005 that took place only metres away from the City of Yarra's Fitzroy town hall, the council relied on Kathleen's experience and leadership to form the council's Taskforce on the Prevention of Male Sexual Violence against Women, bringing together local sexual assault services, women's health organizations, Victoria Police, and the Victorian State government to implement measures to prevent sexual violence in the City of Yarra.

In 2005, she was awarded the inaugural Dame Phyllis Frost Award from the National Council of Women of Victoria in recognition of her work against trafficking.

From 2007 to 2010, Maltzahn served as executive director of Women's Health in the North (WHIN), an organisation serving the Victorian municipalities of Banyule, Darebin, Hume, Merri-bek, Nillumbik, Whittlesea, and Yarra to improve women's health, safety, and well-being.

In 2007, under Maltzahn's leadership, WHIN joined with various women's health organizations in Victoria to successfully campaign for the Abortion Law Reform Act 2008 (Victoria).

WHIN made a submission to the Victorian Law Reform Commission titled "The Law of Abortion Information Paper", which was then referred to in the commission's submission to the Victorian Parliament in 2008.

Maltzahn supports the Nordic model approach to prostitution, which decriminalises the selling of sexual services and criminalises the buying of sexual services.

In May 2018, after the Victorian branch of the Liberal Party passed a motion in support of the Swedish Model, Maltzahn stated “If I am elected to state parliament, I will vote in keeping with Victorian Greens policy, and will vote against the Nordic model, including if the Liberal Party introduces it.

I will not abstain from the vote.

Their agenda is anti-women and I have spent my career fighting for women’s rights.”

Maltzahn remains a controversial figure due to her stance on the issue and sex workers continue to protest against her at public events, including at the recent Greens 2018 election campaign launch.
