Sex Work, Health, and Human Rights: Global Inequities, Challenges, and Opportunities for Action

Abstract

ex work is controversial in many cultures but attracts cross-disciplinary study in the field of academics. The edited volume, Sex Work, Health, and Human Rights: Global Inequities, Challenges, and Opportunities for Action, pays close attention to this industry, with a focus on the global sex workers' rights movement through which the authors continuously demonstrate advocacy for sex workers' human rights, dignity, health, well-being and occupational safety. The book mainly discusses three areas: first, the lived experiences of this marginalised group who suffer from health inequity and social injustice; second, the structural attributes to their suffering; and lastly, recommendations on evidencebased, multi-dimensional, multi-level, interdisciplinary and integrated interventions, along with best practices for figuring out their predicaments.
