Mama Tere Strickland's employer has come to her defence, following stinging criticism of the New Zealand AIDS Foundation's decision to honour her with Life Membership.

The New Zealand Prostitutes Collective is urging the NZAF to reconsider the accolade for the trans prostitutes' outreach worker. It says many transgender sex workers say their lives would have been very different if they had not met Strickland.
