Man jailed after raping woman in Christchurch motel 13th December 2019

A man who raped a sex worker in a motel room has been sentenced to five years in prison. Christopher Alan Quinn was sentenced in the Christchurch district court on Friday for raping the sex worker in July 2018.

Migrant sex workers in top of the south deported - November 2019

Sex work in New Zealand is work and to work in New Zealand you must have a work visa. Foreign nationals on temporary visas (visitor, student, or work visas) are unable to work in the sex industry. They may not provide commercial sexual services, operate or invest in a New Zealand prostitution business while in New Zealand. So basically you cannot visit New Zealand and commercially sell sex.

Since September, five individuals from China, Brazil and Hong Kong had been found working unlawfully as sex workers in Nelson and Blenheim. 

As part of that investigation, 66 migrant sex workers were identified. Of those, 36 were on visitor visas, two on student visas and the remainder on resident visas. 

All sex workers but one were Chinese nationals. Immigration NZ found no evidence they were being exploited.

Man abducted and raped sex worker in Blenheim motel room - 9th October 2019

Kane Gavan Nicholas, 27, bound the woman held her hostage for hours in the motel room and violently beat her breaking her ribs, the court heard. The women thought she was going to die and played dead. Judge Tony Zohrab said, in sentencing Nicholas to nine years and six months prison, the pre-meditated attack on the vulnerable worker involved a "chilling clarity of purpose"

Prostitutes' Collective National Coordinator Catherine Healy says, fortunately, attacks like this are rare. She says most clients don't want to burn their bridges with sex workers - they are well behaved, sensible and respectful.

Home detention for Christchurch man who assaulted sex workers - 2nd October 2019

A man who terrified two New Zealand escorts when he drove them to a cemetery and then assaulted them. Richard Manoa? Edwards was originally charged with kidnapping, sexual violation, indecent assault and robbery. He pleaded guilty and his charged were reduced to assault and theft. Edwards was sentenced to home detention so he could attend rehabilitation programmes and be employed.

Immigration sting finds 38 foreigners illegally employed as sex workers across New Zealand 30th July 2019

New Zealand Immigration agents found many suburban owner-operated brothels had migrants working in them. These migrants were working on visitor visas, which is illegal. Offices raided 45 businesses where they suspected there were visitors working and found 38 temporary visa holders working as New Zealand escorts. All but one were Chinese. It is though there may be Brazilian escorts working in other areas. We aren’t overly-stringent with sex workers, it’s the integrity of the immigration system that we're interested in, recognising that sex work is lawful in New Zealand.  Catherine Healy was pleased no evidence of exploitation was found but was critical in the way immigration officials gather their information. 

 

 

New Zealand Sex Work News

Consider a world where the practice often referred to as the "oldest profession" isn't shrouded in secrecy, stigma, and fear. In this world, sex workers move through their communities confidently, negotiate their terms freely, and access healthcare without fear of judgment. This isn't merely a utopian dream; it's increasingly becoming a reality fueled by a global movement advocating for the legalization of sex work. But what is driving this significant shift? Why are countries reconsidering age-old laws and embracing a more progressive approach? Join us as we explore the multifaceted arguments in favor of legalization, examine the changing global landscape, and navigate the heated controversies surrounding this sensitive issue. Strap in, because the future of sex work may surprise you.

Arguments in Favor of Legalization

Advocates of legalization present compelling arguments:

  1. Human Rights and Worker Protection: Criminalizing sex work marginalizes and stigmatizes sex workers, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation and violence. Legalization would recognize sex work as legitimate employment, granting sex workers basic human rights and labor protections to ensure their safety and well-being.

  2. Public Health Benefits: Legalization enables better regulation and oversight of the sex work industry, facilitating access to essential health services for both sex workers and clients. This includes HIV/AIDS prevention, STD testing and treatment, and strategies for harm reduction. Studies indicate that decriminalization correlates with lower rates of HIV transmission.

  3. Reduced Crime and Exploitation: Criminalization drives sex work underground, creating opportunities for traffickers and pimps to exploit vulnerable individuals. Legalization, coupled with effective regulations, can bring sex work into the open, allowing law enforcement agencies to focus on combating human trafficking and abuse.

  4. Individual Autonomy and Agency: Legalization acknowledges the autonomy and agency of individuals engaging in sex work. It empowers them to negotiate terms, set boundaries, and work in safer environments, empowering them to make informed decisions about their bodies and livelihoods.

  5. Economic Implications: Despite its clandestine nature, sex work is a significant economic activity in many countries. Legalization can formalize this sector, generating tax revenue and contributing to economic growth.

The Global Landscape of Legalization

The approach to sex work legalization varies across the globe:

  • New Zealand: In 2003, New Zealand decriminalized sex work, recognizing it as a legitimate form of employment.
  • Germany: Since 2002, Germany has operated under a regulated system where sex work is legal and subject to taxation.
  • Netherlands: The Netherlands has a long-standing tradition of regulated brothels, with sex workers considered self-employed individuals.
  • Northern Ireland: In 2021, Northern Ireland became the first part of the UK to decriminalize sex work.

Other countries, such as Argentina and Uruguay, have also taken steps towards decriminalization or adopting the Nordic Model, which focuses on criminalizing clients rather than sex workers.

Key Considerations and Controversies

Despite the momentum towards legalization, challenges and controversies remain. Opponents argue that legalization could normalize exploitation and trafficking or even increase the demand for sex work. Concerns also exist about the unintended consequences of specific legislative models.

Addressing these complexities necessitates open dialogue, evidence-based research, and the inclusion of diverse stakeholders, including sex workers themselves, in policymaking processes.

The debate surrounding sex work legalization continues, with valid concerns raised by opponents. Navigating cultural and moral frameworks adds further complexity to the discussion. However, dismissing the voices advocating for reform disregards the human element at the core of this issue. Legalization isn't a panacea, but it acknowledges the agency of sex workers, prioritizes their safety and well-being, and confronts broader societal issues like exploitation and trafficking. While there's no one-size-fits-all solution, fostering open dialogue and embracing evidence-based approaches can lead to a future where sex work exists within a framework of respect, human rights, and effective public health measures. This future may not be flawless, but it holds the potential to be fairer, safer, and more just for all involved.

Lucy Adler, a spirited soul from the lands Down Under, has fired back at her critics in the most electrifying fashion: by turning her work into an ode to her own pleasure peak – celebrating her orgasms like confetti at a party!

Hailing from New Zealand but now strutting her stuff in Australia, this healthcare magician has donned various hats in the risqué realm of adult entertainment. From the glitz of strip clubs to the sugar-coated world of being a "sugar baby" during her studies, she's twirled through it all.

While basking in the glory of her unique career choices, Lucy's encountered her fair share of naysayers. Some claim she's reversing the wheels of feminism, while others reckon she's self-objectifying. But for Lucy, it's a revolt—a feminist crusade to reclaim her body and sexuality, flipping the script on society's age-old script that's long oppressed women.

In an exclusive tête-à-tête with the Daily Star, Lucy unabashedly exclaimed, "Hey, in this capitalist carnival, we're all objectified to some degree! Builders don't get half as much fuss about their 'health and mental state' as us sex workers, and they're probably swinging hammers in riskier ways!"

She's faced stereotypes aplenty, from being labeled a "drug addict" to assumptions that all women in her line of work are trafficking victims. Lucy's not having any of it. She clarified, "Drug addiction spans across all industries, and trafficking is a horrific human rights violation. But hey, being a sex worker? That's a consenting choice, not a horror story."

Quipping about the perks of her profession, Lucy proudly proclaimed, "What other job pays you to indulge in self-pleasure? Money and an orgasm—now that's a jackpot combo!"

This modern-day multi-tasker has spilled the beans about her double life—balancing a disability support job while stirring up spicy content for OnlyFans. Her mantra? Freedom to work as she pleases and a financial boost that's nothing to sneeze at.

Dispensing advice to aspiring women in her field, Lucy cautioned, "It's no cakewalk, darlings. It takes guts to face the haters, the potential loss of friends and family, and a ton of dedication. It's not just lights, camera, action—editing's the real MVP here."

Currently a "side hustle," Lucy hints at the possibility of a full-time plunge into the industry if the stars align. She's swimming in requests, from sissy subscribers exploring their paths to some rather eccentric asks—like a live fish cameo or a peculiar 'worm' performance that she respectfully declined.

Her preferred content? JOI—where she takes the reins in a unique, non-traditional dominatrix fashion, unleashing her creative prowess in scenarios that can make even the boldest blush.

In the end, Lucy's not just sparking joy; she's flipping stereotypes on their head, one climax at a time!

The journey toward achieving sex worker rights has been marked by perseverance, with a rising chorus of voices advocating an end to stigma, abuse, and the criminalization of sex work. In a momentous move, the United Nations Working Group on discrimination against women and girls released a groundbreaking report in October, urging the global decriminalization of voluntary adult sex work.

This report meticulously scrutinizes the divisive debates surrounding sex work, which often overshadow the urgent need for evidence-based policies safeguarding the rights of affected women and girls. Extensive research conducted by Human Rights Watch, reputable academic studies, health journals, anti-trafficking organizations, and insights shared by sex workers themselves consistently highlight that criminalization exacerbates the vulnerability of sex workers to violence, including rape, assault, and even murder.

Recent investigations in 2021 underscored that criminalization not only jeopardizes the safety of sex workers but also undermines the efforts of advocates fighting for sex worker rights. These dedicated defenders often play a crucial role in life-saving anti-trafficking work by negotiating access to brothels, identifying sexually exploited children, empowering survivors with access to justice, offering harm reduction strategies, and enhancing healthcare pathways for individuals deprived of their freedom of movement.

This report marks the seventh occasion where the Working Group has addressed sex work. It has persistently championed the decriminalization of adult sex work in various reports focusing on gender discrimination in health, women deprived of liberty, women's rights in the world of work, poverty, as well as in interventions specifically advocating for criminalized sex workers in Nigeria and South Africa.

Multiple UN agencies, such as the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, the World Health Organization, the UN Population Fund, and the UN Development Program, stand in opposition to criminalization. Additionally, prominent civil society organizations like Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and the International Planned Parenthood Federation have presented evidence-based policies in support of decriminalizing adult sex work.

Local advocates for sex worker rights navigate a challenging and often hostile environment marked by defamation, smear campaigns, legal hurdles, and, at times, physical violence and retribution for their activism within their communities. The unequivocal support from one of the leading women's rights bodies within the UN is profoundly significant, signifying a genuine acknowledgment of the voices and experiences of sex workers.

The mounting evidence and the increasing network of institutions embracing a rights-based approach signify a clear path forward. Decriminalization emerges as the crucial step for those committed to upholding the rights and justice for all women, fostering an environment that champions dignity, safety, and empowerment.

Imagine you’re a sex worker and your job is illegal. How safe would you feel? Not very, right? Well, that’s the reality for many sex workers in South Africa, where buying or selling sex can land you in jail. And it’s not just the law that’s against them. They also face violence from clients and even police officers. In fact, seven out of 10 female sex workers said they had been attacked by clients in 2019, and almost six out of 10 said they had been raped. That’s horrible!

But things might change soon. The government is thinking about making sex work legal for adults. That means sex workers could report crimes against them without fear of getting arrested. And it could also make everyone safer. Studies from other countries show that when sex work is legal, there is less sexual violence across society. And it doesn’t mean more people will become sex workers either. That’s what some people worried about when New Zealand decriminalised sex work 20 years ago, but it didn’t happen.

So what do New Zealand sex workers think? Do they feel safer now that their job is legal? We wanted to find out, so we talked to Allan Heta Cleaver, who has been a sex worker for more than 40 years. He knows what it was like before and after the law changed. Watch our TV programme, Health Beat, to hear his story and learn more about this important issue.

The world’s first openly transgender member of Parliament, Georgina Beyer, passed away on Monday at the age of 65. She was a pioneering New Zealand politician who broke barriers and inspired many.

Her friends said she left this world peacefully in hospice care, without disclosing the cause of her death. Beyer had battled with kidney failure and received a kidney transplant in 2017.

New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said he was not close to Beyer personally, but he recognized her legacy and influence on the country and its parliament.

“I certainly think that Georgina has blazed a trail that has made it much easier for others to follow,” Hipkins said.

Her longtime friend Malcolm Vaughan said Monday he was still grieving for Beyer, who he had known for decades, and was not ready to speak about her life. He and his husband Scott Kennedy issued a statement instead.

“Georgie was surrounded by her nearest and dearest 24/7 over the past week, she accepted what was happening, was cracking jokes and had a twinkle in her eye, right until the final moment,” they wrote.

They said she was a national treasure, or “taonga” in Indigenous Māori.

Farewell Georgie, your love, compassion and all that you have done for the rainbow and many other communities will live on for ever,” they wrote.

Beyer, who was Māori, worked as a sex worker and nightclub performer before turning to politics. In 1995 she was elected mayor of the small North Island town of Carterton. Four years later, she won national office for the liberal Labour Party and remained a lawmaker until 2007.

She helped pass the landmark 2003 Prostitution Reform Act, which decriminalized sex work.

She spoke to lawmakers with courage and honesty, sharing how the new law could have prevented her from being forced into the sex industry at the age of 16, and how sex workers suffered from violence and abuse without being able to seek justice from the police.

“I think of all the people I have known in that area who have suffered because of the hypocrisy of our society, which, on the one hand, can accept prostitution, while, on the other hand, wants to push it under the carpet and keep it in the twilight world that it exists in,” she told lawmakers.

In 2004, she helped pass a law allowing same-sex civil unions. Nine years later, New Zealand passed a law allowing same-sex marriage.

Politicians from both sides of the aisle mourned her death Monday. Nicola Willis, the deputy leader of the conservative National Party, remembered Beyer as brave and gracious.

“We came from different political sides but she had the power to breach the divide,” Willis wrote on Twitter.

 On a rented luxury yacht expensed to the tune of $10,000, Thumper, the first female-owned adult entertainment agency in New Zealand, celebrates its launch.

Born out of a need for protection for women in the sex work industry, the company represents ladies providing content on OnlyFans and other porn websites and offers mentoring and opportunities to better their business and “maximise their potential.”

It’s a cut-throat industry – according to Variety, OnlyFans boasts 2.16m content creators with workloads that often lead to burnout, but Thumper’s founder and one of NZ’s most successful OnlyFans content creators, Jasmin, is looking towards the future of sex work with optimism.

She’s planning a “female revolution” away from the typical “male gaze” of the sex work industry, where women can perform their jobs with safety and support and the career path itself can be seen with less stigma.
 

Sex worker talks about discrimination in New Zealand despite the sex industry being decriminalised since 2003.

On sex worker described how her mortgage stated her job title as an exotic dance and not an escort. The mortgage broker explained that her bank manager had turned down applications from escorts in the past.

During the pandemic many sex workers were left in limbo by their banks when they wanted to take card and internet payments for remote services.

The Prostitutes Collective said that though reform of the laws had done much to help sex workers, there was much to be done to change attitudes.

A New Zealand Escort is to receive a six-figure payout against a business owner.  This is a reminder that the New Zealand decriminalized model can and does work. This allowed the sex worker to take the business owner to court for sexual harassment.  Just because you are an escort / prostitute, does not mean you have to accept unwanted advances from the business owner. No mean No!

 

The case served as a reminder that all workers have the right to freedom from sexual harassment at work, it added. New Zealand passed a law decriminalising sex work in 2003,

In a recent Morning Star article proposing the Nordic Model, they are canvassing for people to attend the Unison conference. Unison has long supported the discredited Nordic model. Up for debate is to change this stance to support decriminalization as practiced in New Zealand. The lie which the Nordic Model Now is that Germany is a decriminalized country for sex work.  This is not true; sex work is controlled in Germany by law. Escorts have to register.  They also discredit the decriminalisation as practiced in New Zealand.  All the evidence is this has been a success. Even so NZ is not totally decriminalised, foreign visitors are not protected by the law.

There is only one country which decriminalises sex work, and that is New Zealand. In Australia certain states decriminalise sex work, and this is growing. One other country, Belgium is decriminalising sex work, and that is Belgium.

As Belgium is also removing sex work from its penal code, the country is now the first in Europe, and the second in the world, to officially decriminalise sex work.

Decriminalisation will be happening step by step. Firstly, self-employed sex workers will be able to do their job legally, and stricter action will be taken against the abuse of prostitution. Additionally, advertising for prostitution will be allowed, but only when someone advertises their own sexual services.

The next step will be regulating sex work for employees by imposing rules regarding safety, hygiene, and working conditions on companies.

A sex worker in New Zealand has won a sexual harassment case against a business owner, including a six-figure settlement to compensate for "emotional harm and lost earnings", the country’s human rights commission has said.

Human Rights Proceedings represented the sex worker at the centre of the case and director Michael Timmins noted the importance of the ruling, stating: “All workers, regardless of the type of work they do, have the right to freedom from sexual harassment in the workplace. We encourage all business owners and employers to ensure that they understand and respect those rights." 

The BBC reported on the case and spoke with Dame Catherine Healy, national coordinator of NSWP member the New Zealand Sex Workers Collective.

"It's great to see a settlement of this type has been awarded in the context of sex work to a sex worker," Dame Catherine Healy, national coordinator of the New Zealand Sex Workers Collective, told the BBC.

"It takes courage to stand up in the workplace, any workplace," she added, saying it was a "wake-up call" for businesses.

"While sex work can occur at level 2, venues are limited to no more than 50 people indoors, and all people, staff and clients, must wear a mask," they wrote in advice posted online.

"This means you may have to be inventive for what positions and activities you undertake as you will not be able to kiss or be within the moist breath zone."

Despite sex work being decriminalised in New Zealand, those workers who have convictions prior to decriminalisation still have a criminal record. More than 1000 New Zealand escorts were convicted of soliciting from 1980 to 2003,  This is having an effect on their job prospects when they apply for work outside of the sex industry. The Justice Minister's office says there's no work under way to expunge historic sex work convictions despite more than 1000 people being affected.

A Dunedin escort working in a Dunedin brothel was spat at by a man. The man claimed it was because of a build-up of saliva in his mouth. He had spat at her genitalia. The escort ordered the man out and called the police. The Dunedin escort was off work for three weeks in case of infection.

The client was sentenced to 80 hours of community work and was ordered to pay the escort $3000 (about £1500)

Artworks offering insight into the lives of sex workers are being featured in a national exhibition that aims to change stereotypes and stigma.

Jordan Quinn, independent sex worker and co-owner of NZ Pleasures, started the annual exhibition in Wellington in 2019 as a way for sex workers to tell their stories.

The exhibition aims to change ''stereotypes and stigma''.

This is the first time the exhibition has been shown in Christchurch and Quinn says the group had already experienced ‘’discrimination’’.

A man engineered to remove the condom he was using with a sex worker and when she told him off, he raped her.

The judge said a sex worker raped was no less a victim than any other woman.

He said there was planning on Campos’ part, choosing a position that would allow him to remove the condom, with the risk of pregnancy and disease, which in turn put the victim’s employment at risk.

He said there were dire consequences for Campos, who had been supporting his six children from two wives and an elderly sick mother in the Philippines.

He would also be going into prison where he would be isolated because of the language barrier.

Dunedin’s model of having no bylaws for the sex work trade has proven a positive for those in the industry in the city compared to other councils, a researcher says.

PhD candidate Peyton Bond, from Virginia in the United States, became interested in New Zealand’s decriminalisation of sex work under the Prostitution Reform Act (PRA).

That model was similar to what other sex worker activists around the world were fighting for, but Bond noted that some councils in New Zealand differed in their approach.

‘'A lot of it is moralising,’’ she said.

With some of the most liberal laws regarding sex work in the world, Auckland escorts set the example of what sex positivity really looks like. 

Glamourous isn’t a word that often describes sex work. Healthy, happy, and safe also also adjectives you don’t often see conjoined with the concept of “prostitution”. However, in the country that just seems to keep getting it right, sex workers have reported overwhelmingly positive experiences within the sex work sphere of New Zealand. From brothels, to in-call, and pro-sex worker ad agencies like Naughty Ads, New Zealand is one of the safest places for a sex worker to call home.

“I think what really made the biggest impact on my experience was that because of these laws that were in place, I felt accepted by my community. There’s definitely still some stigma towards sex workers here, particularly those that work the streets, or have addiction issues, but largely– it’s a really supportive community.” Julie says that thanks to the internet, normalizing culture of regulation, and the ability to work from home or associate with brothels without concerns of legal repercussion, sex work in New Zealand is incredibly safe for anyone who “wants it to be.”

The absence of wealthy overseas tourists has taken a toll on the adult entertainment industry in Queenstown, with New Zealanders less willing to spend big.

Indulge Me NZ owner Antonia Davison-McDonald said her striptease company had lost 80% of bookings because of Covid-19.

Australians on stag dos, hens’ parties and lads’ weekends would use her agency to hire topless waitresses and book stripteases by men or women.

The lack of bookings meant five of her staff had moved away from Queenstown because they could no longer afford to live there.

It is so gratifying to see the New Zealand model of decriminalisation work so well.

The sum is part of a settlement to compensate the woman for "emotional harm and lost earnings", said the human rights body that represented her.

The case served as a reminder that all workers have the right to freedom from sexual harassment at work, it added.

It's great to see a settlement of this type has been awarded in the context of sex work to a sex worker," Dame Catherine Healy, national coordinator of the New Zealand Sex Workers Collective, told the BBC.

"It takes courage to stand up in the workplace, any workplace," she added, saying it was a "wake-up call" for businesses.

All workers, regardless of the type of work they do, have the right to freedom from sexual harassment in the workplace. We encourage all business owners and employers to ensure that they understand and respect those rights," he said in a statement

A complaint has been lodged against two Auckland sex workers for allegedly breaching visa and Covid restriction rules by working through the alert level 3 lockdown period.

Both sex workers are believed to be foreign nationals working in central Auckland.

The Herald was told that one is on a student visa and the other on a visitor visa, and she obtained an extension to remain in NZ because of the Covid-19 outbreak.

However, Immigration NZ acting general manager verification and compliance Geoff Scott is refusing to confirm whether it was investigating the complaint "to protect the integrity of our compliance activity and ensure the privacy of any individuals or companies is maintained during any potential investigative process".

The head of New Zealand's sex worker advocacy group says Rotorua's Prostitution Bylaw is "problematic" as it singles out a specific occupation - one that has been decriminalised for nearly 20 years.

It comes as Rotorua Lakes Council enters its final weekend for public input on a review of its 2009 Prostitution Bylaw.

Sex work was made legal in New Zealand in 2003, but not for everyone – it remains one of the only jobs migrants aren’t allowed to do. But is the law successfully holding back a tidal wave of sex trafficking, or is it a discriminatory measure that’s causing more harm than good to the migrant community?

Kiwibank published a responsible banking policy. In this policy it detailed sectors it would not work with. These included Casinos, fossil fuels, weapons. They also included brothels and strip clubs. Sex workers were outraged, and the New Zealand Prostitutes Collective took up arms and discussed this with the Kiwi Bank. Banking for the adult industry has now been recategorised as sensitive. This means they will continue to bank with the adult industry, so long as they can demonstrate good practice. The bank will continue to work with the NZPC to develop policy.

The New Zealand Prostitute's Collective (NZPC) released guidelines for sex workers on their website on Thursday with a checklist of hygiene practices and safety measures workers, brothels and massage parlours should be implementing now intimacy outside of bubbles is allowed. 

Included in the list are steps such as "avoid the 'moist breath zone' as much as possible", using gloves and masks where needed and to avoid work if you're suffering any cold or flu symptoms. 

Frequent and thorough showering, hand washing and surface cleaning are also recommended, using ant-viral disinfectants. 

Contact tracing will also be implemented with the date, time and location of any appointment recorded. Agreements must also be undertaken that a client will contact a sex worker directly if they test positive for COVID-19 following an interaction. 

Those over 70 or with compromised immune systems are to avoid sex work for the moment. 

A Dunedin brothel and strip club is experiencing a spike in the number of women looking for work since Covid-19 closed the doors of both establishments, the owner says.
La Maison and Stilettos Revue Bar owner Peter Cooper said since the lockdown started, 10 women who had never worked in the industry before had contacted him asking for work.

The world's oldest industry has embraced modern technology and added a dash of the not-so-new as sex workers try to make ends meet during the coronavirus crisis.

New Zealand prostitutes have been unable to legally work since Covid-19 alert level 4 came into effect, more than six weeks ago, when the country became a contactless society.

The week before New Zealand went into full lockdown on 26 March, Lana*, 28, had taken a break from work at the high-end Wellington brothel where, since September, she had made around NZ$2,200 a month seeing two or three clients a week.

When lockdown occurred, she applied for New Zealand emergency wage support, available for all workers where their wage falls by 30% or more. Within two days she had received NZ$4,200 to cover her for 12 weeks.  Full time workers would have received more.

One of the country's oldest professions is facing looming uncertainty, as the majority of physical sex work remains on hold due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Dame Catherine Healy said many were anxious to seek Government assistance because they didn't want to be associated with the industry or were nervous because they hadn't been compliant with their taxes.

"We suspect sex workers will be one of the last groups [that can work again], we suspect it will need to be a level one before usual sex work can continue."

A man has been found dead outside a "gentlemen's club" in the Auckland suburb of Epsom.

A member of the public found the body just after midnight this morning and police are treating the death as a homicide.

A worker who turned up for her shift this morning arrived not knowing what had happened.

"I just got here - I usually have a 10am shift - and they said that there's a homicide. I can't go in now. I'm just waiting to see what happens ... don't know what's going on."

Potential clients are avoiding Chinese sex workers like the plague in New Zealand amid the coronavirus outbreak – so the women are claiming to be Korean, Japanese or simply “Asian” in their online ads, according to a report.

 

Now sex workers in New Zealand don't mention Chinese in the sex directories and are also offering large discounts to get business.

Christchurch's red-light district is mourning the alleged murder of a fifth sex worker in 15 years. SAM SHERWOOD spoke to some of the "sisterhood" affected by her loss.

Officers are appealing for the public's help after the murder of sex worker Bella Te Pania on Orchard Road on New Year's Eve.

A man has been charged with her murder, but Police still need to find several items which are important the investigation.

They include a blue lanyard with a car key and an elephant or butterfly keyring, a black Huawei cellphone with a cracked screen, a black Samsung Galaxy, and a small black bag with a shoulder strap.

Police say Bryndwr residents should check their front verges and gardens for the items.

They also want to hear from anyone who has CCTV footage of the area
