Abstract:
SWEAT interviewed 17 sex workers, eight of whom worked indoors in an agency and nine who worked outdoors soliciting clients on the street, through newspaper adverts and cellular phones. In some cases those working outdoors spoke of previous experiences when working in the indoor industry. Three themes emerged out of our discussions with participants relating to their experiences of stigma and isolation, discrimination, and violence. The study highlights these women's experiences and makes recommendations to address the stigma and discrimination.
