Conclusions -
NZPC accepts what research is saying about the Swedish model of regulating sex work: that criminalising the clients of sex workers is a bad thing as it leads to an increase in violence against sex workers, that it has negative effects on the occupational safety and health of sex workers, infantilises adult women capable of making their own decisions, increases harassment by police and other authorities, and leads to an increase in stigma. This is contrary to the aims of the PRA, which in part are to increase the occupational safety and health of sex workers, and to protect public health. There is no good way in which laws can be written that deliberately stigmatise any portion of New Zealand society through criminalising a different portion.
NZPC therefore recommends that clients of sex workers are not criminalised.
NZPC is a non-profit organisation run by sex workers, supporting the rights, health and well-being of all Sex Industry Workers. It is the only national, sex worker-run organisation in New Zealand.
