Violence against street sex workers: an inclusion health matter
This presentation will highlight initial findings and themes from the ICB funded research into health inequalities and street sex workers. The rationale behind the framing of violence as a health inclusion matter will be discussed. Violence has adverse effects on the physical and mental health of street sex workers, moreover, high levels of violence against street sex working women points to marked social inequalities. Stigma, the effects of othering, and the open hostility towards street sex workers exacerbates the already extreme effects of violence on this cohort of women.
