{"title":"The Disclosure Dilemma: Stigma and Talking About Sex Work in the Decriminalised Context","authors":"Lynzi Armstrong, C. Fraser","doi":"10.2307/j.ctv1453kvn.14","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctv1453kvn.14","url":null,"abstract":"It is widely understood that sex workers are particularly vulnerable to being impacted by stigma, which has serious consequences. Stigma is thought to be exacerbated by the criminalisation of sex work and means that sex workers often live ‘double lives’ in largely keeping their work a secret from those around them to manage risks. However, very little is known about how stigma operates in a decriminalised context and specifically its impacts on the disclosure dilemma that many sex workers manage. This chapter examines this issue, drawing on in-depth interviews with 20 sex workers in New Zealand. Specifically, this chapter explores participants’ experiences of telling friends and family members about their work, the process of deciding who to tell, and the emotional labour of managing responses to these disclosures. Examining these experiences in the context of decriminalisation, this chapter considers the extent to which this context is helping to foster an environment in which it is safer and more comfortable for sex workers to talk about their work with people in their lives.","PeriodicalId":265367,"journal":{"name":"Sex Work and the New Zealand Model","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114544467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Section 19 of the PRA stemmed from concern amongst some politicians that decriminalisation could encourage trafficking into the sex industry. This chapter draws on the findings of two qualitative studies: one with migrant sex workers on their experiences, and the other with permanent resident sex workers. Both studies point to the deleterious impacts section 19 has had on migrant sex workers, putting them in a position where they are vulnerable to exploitation. It is argued in this chapter that there is no evidence of trafficking for sex work into New Zealand and that the repeal of Section 19 would be more conducive to protecting migrant sex workers from exploitation and ensuring that the PRA provides appropriate protection to all sex workers.","PeriodicalId":265367,"journal":{"name":"Sex Work and the New Zealand Model","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128540350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet they are marginalised and stigmatised and are seldom seen as community members by business owners and residents within that community. This chapter draws on interviews with street-based sex workers, residents, Council representatives and outreach workers in two cities in New Zealand. It discusses the spaces within these two cities where street-based sex work is (and is not) accepted by others in the community, as well as how the tensions within these spaces have been addressed. The chapter argues for a community engagement process to relieve community tensions rather than regulatory approaches, which too often have unintended consequences.","PeriodicalId":265367,"journal":{"name":"Sex Work and the New Zealand Model","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131125274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysing texts published between 2010 - 2016 reveals the ways that acceptability is mediated through comparisons between indoor workers who see relatively few clients, and workers who see more clients and/or charge less for their services. News media discourses about sex work indicate that the acceptability of some sex workers relies on their ability to obscure the sexual and emotional labour which they engage in. Disguising this allows commercial services to be framed akin to unpaid sexual encounters within media discourses, a key site where the general public’s notions of sex work are contested and established. The willingness of low-volume indoor workers to present their work through an advertorial frame, emphasising an enjoyment of the work and foregrounding normative aspects of their lives, is prominent in texts featuring them. While such framing may benefit the businesses the workers represent, it is less likely to benefit them personally. This suggests that decriminalisation offers new and different media opportunities to workers, which in some circumstances could represent a burden of uncompensated emotional labour.","PeriodicalId":265367,"journal":{"name":"Sex Work and the New Zealand Model","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133940981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
