| Gender inequities exist worldwide, and sex trafficking continues to be a critical international public health issue in need of study. The psychosocial and physical impacts of such work are significant, often resulting in injury, sexually transmitted infections, and feelings of powerlessness and shame. Through both qualitative and quantitative inquiry, this session explores the healthcare needs and experiences of sex workers in the U.S. and internationally. | |||
| Learning Objectives: By the end of the session, the participant will be able to (1) identify social factors that influence sex workers; (2) identify barriers to receiving adequate healthcare and improved well-being; and (3) describe the psychosocial, physical and social implications of forced and voluntary sex work. | |||
