It gives people more time to think about what they want to do next. NZPC can support you through this process.

CW: SA Kia ora SWrs in Aotearoa: do you know about 'just in case' forensic examinations? A 'just in case' is a forensic examination that can be done after a s*xual harm (within seven days) which allows for evidence to be stored without immediate police involvement.

Why is the 'Wh*rearchy' problematic? This idea of ‘good wh*res vs bad wh*res’ perpetuates stigma and harms us all. Disproportionately targets workers who are already marginalised. Creates divide amongst the SW community.

Update: our original account has been deleted by Instagram... follow our new Instagram account @nzpc.aotearoa 🩷

We will continue to advocate for all s*x workers in Aotearoa. Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari kē he toa takitini. "My success should not be bestowed onto me alone, it was not individual success but the success of a collective".

Yesterday (14th September) was S*x worker pride day. On SW pride day we celebrate worker achievements, resilience and unity. We would like to acknowledge all of the brave workers this year who came forward to stand up against injustice.

S*x work doesn't have to be "empowering". It can just be a job. You don't have to be saving or studying to justify it. You can just be living and that's ka pai.

Today is World S*xual Health day ❤️ We support s*x workers' rights to: Access safer s*x information & supplies Pursue justice under Aotearoa NZ law Keep healthy & safe in their workplaces

Intensas NZ have released a hands-free dental dam holder grip device that we think is such a great reusable safety tool for s*x workers! We are in the process of ordering one for each of our 4 bases across the country so workers can see them in person. https://t.co/mFMKT9Q2gR

Beware of misleading information... "You can get a svgar daddy who will give you 3k for doing nothing!" Yeah, right. Anyone considering doing SW should be given realistic information about the industry. Contact NZPC for info about your rights, health and safety.

5. Share the knowledge: if you don’t want to be the encyclopedia for SW, you can recommend workers come and speak to us. When you encounter someone new to SW, please encourage them to visit NZPC.

4. Uplift other workers: if you have a problem with another worker, it’s a good idea to avoid bad-mouthing them to others, especially to clients. SWrs face enough discrimination as it is - why add to that?

Don’t speak on behalf of all SWrs: as mentioned in the previous slide, SWrs come from various backgrounds, possess diverse experiences, and hold different opinions, which is completely valid. However, it is not acceptable to overshadow the voices of other SWrs.

2. Understand intersectionality - being a SW comes with a significant amount of stigma. Additionally, identifying as a person of color, transgender, unhoused, disabled, or a combination of these can further compound this stigma. These elements of identity intersect,
