History

Historical Context

The Prostitution Reform Act of 2003 decriminalized sex work in New Zealand, marking a significant shift from earlier laws like the Massage Parlours Act of 1978, which allowed brothels to operate under false pretenses. This change reflected evolving societal attitudes towards sex work and has influenced ongoing legal discussions, as seen in Sean Combs' recent sentencing for prostitution-related charges, highlighting the complexities surrounding sex work today.
