0



This is a recording of an interview with Chelsea Geddes about the operation of New Zealand’s fully decriminalised prostitution system. The interview was conducted by Jacci Stoyle in an informal meeting of the Cross Party Group on Commercial Sexual Exploitation (CPG CSE) in the Scottish parliament on Wednesday 19 October 2022 and is followed by a Q&A. The meeting was informal because the Scottish parliament was in recess at the time.

Chelsea Geddes is a prostitution survivor with 20 years’ experience in the fully decriminalised prostitution system in New Zealand. She managed to escape after a prolonged struggle about a year ago. She is a passionate writer and long-time activist against the sex trade.

Jacci Stoyle is a passionate campaigner against the sexual exploitation industries and is the secretariat of the CPG CSE.

In the talk, Chelsea mentions a speech that she gave a few days earlier at the ‘Students for sale: Tools for resistance’ conference that was in London and organised by Nordic Model Now! You can find a transcript of that speech here:
