New Zealand Prostitutes' Collective
- New Zealand Prostitutes' Collective
-
The New Zealand Prostitutes' Collective (NZPC) is a New Zealand-based organisation that supports the rights of sex workers and educates prostitutes about minimizing the risks of the job. It was founded in 1987, and received funding from the Minister of Health in 1988. The funding contract was subsequently managed by the Department of Health, and later, the Ministry of Health, following reorganisation within the Ministry.[1] It has been credited with controlling the spread of HIV/AIDS in New Zealand.
