In 2003, New Zealand became the first country to decriminalise sex work.
Through the lived experiences of twenty-five individuals who worked on the ships and the streets, in massage parlours and as private escorts, Untold Intimacies tells the story of sex work and its transformation in Aotearoa over thirty critical years.
Emile Donovan talks to author Dr Cheryl Ware.
