Prostitution in New Zealand: Before & After Full Decrim

Red Light Exposé

This episode contains discussions of mental health, suicide and violence that may be disturbing to some listeners.

Our host Sabrinna speaks to Angela and Dottie about surviving prostitution in New Zealand, the factors that lead women into the trade, the coping strategies they develop, and the scars they live with after exiting. Their 3 experiences cover the period before, during, and after the transition from prohibition to so-called “full decriminalization” laws, often touted as creating a reasonably safe and humane sex industry but really doing anything but.
