Sex Workers and Allies will be out and proud with SF Pride this year, come see all the great things we are doing:

The Prostitution law review committee of the Ministry of Justice in NZ has recently released their 5 year review of the decriminalization of prostitution (.PDF HERE). They have some interesting findings, after what is now 5 years of legal prostitutionⁱ:
Some quotes from the Associate Justice Minister Lianne Dalziel:

“The report indicates that the numbers have remained more or less the same since the Act came into force and that most sex workers are better off under the PRA than they were previously, which was the intention of the Act.

Dear SWOP Friends,

DangerZone411 is a resource message board that was started in 2005 and is currently ran by two National ladies who were, and still are, disgusted with our comrades being attacked, raped and abused. We have a cast of 13 Ladies that maintain our site and post alerts with the help of 2400 ladies as of April 2008. We are all active, working, ladies. Ladies that donate their time and have great dedication to our members here and the pursuit of safety. They put in countless hours a day combing the Internet, for local media information outlets, in order to keep every area up to date. Understand, Dangerzone411 was NOT created to be a man bashing site. We love all of our friends. There are just too many deceptive men trying to hurt us physically. We simply won't stand for it any longer. We know some deserve a chance at redemption and we will make sure that if found, the good side is heard too.
