S1E2: NZPC Decriminalise Sex Work - NZ 2003

New Zealand’s model of decriminalised sex work has been studied the world over. With their limited resources, their campaign was tightly focused on parliament with a clear focus on a narrative strategy. Across an 11 year period, they wrote and then lobbied for the Prostitution Reform Act which decriminalised their industry and passed by just 1 vote. We spoke with the New Zealand Prostitutes Collective co-founder Dame Catherine Healy, and NZPC Auckland Coordinator Annah Pickering about how they made it happen.

If you want to read more about their campaign, and NZPC more generally there are two in depth journal articles.
