Introduction of short course treatment for latent tuberculosis infection at a primary care facility for refugees in Winnipeg, Canada
Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) End TB strategy document 'Toward tuberculosis elimination: an action framework for low incidence countries'-like Canada- identifies screening and treatment of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) for groups at increased risk for TB disease as a priority, including newcomers from endemic countries. In 2015, the clients-centered model offered at a primary care facility for refugees, BridgeCare Clinic,…
Safe spaces that matter
Communities that claim “2SLGBTQ+” (Two Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Queer plus) identities experience profound inequities within healthcare settings. In response, scholars and advocates have engaged in conversations about creating “safe space,” for them. These “safe spaces” are said to be produced through the display of objects such as pride flag stickers and queer inclusive posters, as well as through “queer friendly” staff trained…
Money boys in Chengdu, China
This qualitative study highlights the complex interplay between the social and structural conditions in Chengdu, China that shape the possibilities and vulnerabilities of money boys' sexual health. Within the context of China's liberalised market economy, we explore (1) how money boys' enter the sex trade market and navigate their sexual networks; (2) how their lives are enmeshed in fields of sexual desire, stigma and coercion; and (3) how the il…
Pragmatic women
Persisting inequities in maternal health pose a particular burden for marginalised populations such as sex workers. However, current literature on pregnancy and sex work is limited to mostly quantitative studies focusing on contraception use, unplanned and/or undesired pregnancies and unsafe abortions. Additionally, emphasis has been placed on the prevention, treatment and care of STIs and HIV with less attention accorded to women's pregnancy des…
Media, nationalism, and the body
Public health and media discourses on men and HIV prevention in India have largely focused on changing knowledge, attitudes and risk behaviour pertaining to condom use and safe sex. Little attempt has been made towards intervening in areas such as masculinity, dominant gender norms and intimate partner violence (IPV) that have been shown to have a direct link to HIV prevalence. In this paper, drawing on findings from an ethnographic study in nort…
Dutiful daughters
Decades of research have documented how sex workers worldwide, particularly female sex workers (FSWs), shoulder a disproportionate burden of the HIV epidemic. In India, although a substantial progress has been made in controlling the epidemic, its prevalence among FSWs and the Devadasis (also called traditional sex workers) in northern Karnataka is still significantly high. On the other hand, much of the HIV prevention research has focused on the…
Ecologies of security
This paper highlights important environmental dimensions of HIV vulnerability by describing how the sex trade operates in Nairobi, Kenya. Although sex workers there encounter various forms of violence and harassment, as do sex workers globally, we highlight how they do not merely fall victim to a set of environmental risks but also act upon their social environment, thereby remaking it, as they strive to protect their health and financial interes…
Intervening in masculinity
Although health researchers have begun to examine the forms of violence and power dynamics that play out in the intimate relationships of female sex workers (FSWs) in India, this knowledge has tended to focus on the perspectives of women, leaving men’s motivations and attitudes relatively unexamined. This paper examines the contours of masculinity and gender norms from the perspective of the intimate partners of FSWs. Based on six months of ethno…
Sex Work Politics
Reviewed by: Sex Work Politics: From Protest to Service Provision by Samantha Majic Claudyne Chevrier Samantha Majic, Sex Work Politics: From Protest to Service Provision (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press 2014) Against the well-established idea that social movement borne groups become less motivated and efficacious at fighting for radical change when they are funded by state institutions, Samantha Majic offers a refreshing case stud…
Sex work in geographic perspective
This paper examines the findings from an extensive geographic mapping study of female sex work venues located in the south western Chinese city of Zigong, in Sichuan province. Drawing upon the findings from quantitative research, secondary historical sources and field notes, composed during participant observation, we provide a nuanced portrait of how the operation of sex work can be conceptualised in spatial terms, where 'space' is regarded as s…
No one was there to care for us’
Under the umbrella of the Bill and Melinda Gates-funded HIV initiative in India, the Mysore-based sex workers' (SWs) collective Ashodaya Samithi focused on improving its members' living and working conditions through community-led structural interventions, including community mobilisation, advocacy, peer-led support, and health promotional activities. Based on four months of ethnographic fieldwork, this article examines the care and support activ…
The Family Behind the Farm
As increasing toxicity of Manitoba lakes garners public concern, the environmental impacts of pork producers have come under scrutiny. In this context, the Manitoba Pork Council launched The Family Behind the Farm, a series of advertisements and testimonials featuring pork producers and their families. We examine how this campaign operates affectively to distance the family farm from industrial pork production. Building upon geographical literatu…
