Publisher's Summary
New Zealand’s relatively recent decriminalization of sex work and its unusual success in combatting Covid-19 have both attracted international media interest. This accessibly written book uses the lens of news media coverage to consider the pandemic’s impacts on both sex workers and public perceptions of the industry.
Analyzing the stigmatisation of sex work in both short and long-term contexts, the book addresses the impacts of intersectional oppressions or marginalisations on sex workers, and the ways sex work advocacy relates to other social justice movements. It unpicks how New Zealand’s decriminalization approach functions under stress, offering valuable information for advocates, activists, and scholars.
