RT Book T1 Sex work and COVID-19 in the New Zealand media: avoid the moist breath zone T2 Bristol shorts research A1 Easterbrook-Smith, Gwyn LA English PP Bristol, UK PB Bristol University Press YR 2023 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1907966544 AB "New Zealand's relatively recent decriminalisation of sex work and its unusual success in combatting COVID-19 have both attracted international media interest. This accessibly-written book uses the lens of news media coverage to consider the pandemic's impacts on both sex workers and public perceptions of the industry. Analysing the stigmatisation of sex work in both short- and long-term contexts, the book addresses the impacts of intersectional oppressions or marginalisations on sex workers, and the ways sex work advocacy relates to other social justice movements. It unpicks how New Zealand's decriminalisation approach functions under stress, offering valuable information for advocates, activists and scholars."--Page 4 of cover NO Includes bibliographical references (pages 118-151) and index CN PN5597.P73 SN 9781529230345 K1 sex work : Press coverage : New Zealand K1 COVID-19 (Disease) : Press coverage : New Zealand K1 COVID-19 (Disease) in mass media K1 COVID-19 dans les médias K1 COVID-19 - Nouvelle-Zélande K1 COVID-19 (Disease) K1 sex work K1 Sex workers in mass media K1 New Zealand K1 Neuseeland : Prostitution : COVID-19 : Pandemie : Neue Medien : Diskriminierung : Stigmatisierung
