Sex work law and policy is subject to intense global debate with different countries pursuing divergent approaches to the regulation of the sex industry. While the decriminalisation of sex work has been endorsed by several international organisations, it remains an uncommon legislative approach. New Zealand is the only country in the world to have decriminalised sex work. New Zealand’s model of decriminalisation is widely promoted as best practice for occupational health and safety, a reputation that is well-supported by evidence. However, in some corners, speculation is ongoing regarding its impacts on the ground, and gaps remain in understanding how this approach impacts different groups of sex workers, and what has changed since the legislation was passed in 2003. This edited collection provides cutting-edge insights into how different groups of sex workers are experiencing decriminalisation, along with documenting ongoing challenges and tensions in this environment. In doing so, this collection provides critical evidence in the context of international debates on sex work laws and the global struggle to realise sex worker’s rights, and problematises widespread speculation regarding the impacts of the decriminalised model.
