This open access book provides a comprehensive overview of the
health inequities and human rights issues faced by sex workers
globally across diverse contexts, and outlines evidence-based
strategies and best practices. Sex workers face severe health and
social inequities, largely as the result of structural factors
including punitive and criminalized legal environments, stigma, and
social and economic exclusion and marginalization. Although
previous work has largely emphasized an elevated burden and gaps in
HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) services in sex work,
less attention has been paid to the broader health and human rights
concerns faced by sex workers. This contributed volume addresses
this gap. The chapters feature a variety of perspectives including
academic, community, implementing partners, and government to
synthesize research evidence as well as lessons learned from
local-level experiences across different regions, and are organized
under three parts: Burden of health and human rights inequities
faced by sex workers globally, including infectious diseases (e.g.,
HIV, STIs), violence, sexual and reproductive health, and drug use
Structural determinants of health and human rights, including
legislation, law enforcement, community engagement, intersectoral
collaboration, stigma, barriers to health access, im/migration
issues, and occupational safety and health Evidence-based services
and best practices at various levels ranging from individual and
community to policy-level interventions to identify best practices
and avenues for future research and interventions Sex Work, Health,
and Human Rights is an essential resource for researchers,
policy-makers, governments, implementing partners, international
organizations and community-based organizations involved in
research, policies, or programs related to sex work, public health,
social justice, gender-based violence, women's health and harm
reduction.
