Blueprints 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.
