Sex work and three dimensions of self-esteem: Self-worth, authenticity and self-efficacy
Sex work is assumed to have a negative effect on self-esteem, nearly exclusively expressed as low self-worth, due to its social unacceptability and despite the diversity of persons, positions and roles within the sex industry. In this study, we asked a heterogeneous sample of 218 Canadian sex workers delivering services in various venues about how their work affected their sense of self. Using thematic analysis based on a three-dimensional concep…
Canadian Sex Workers Weigh the Costs and Benefits of Disclosing Their Occupational Status to Health Providers
Prostitution stigma has been shown to negatively affect the work, personal lives, and health of sex workers. Research also shows that sex workers have much higher unmet health care needs than the general population. Less is known about how stigma obstructs their health-seeking behaviors. For our thematic analysis, we explored Canadian sex workers' accounts ( N = 218) of accessing health care services for work-related health concerns. Results show…
Prostitution Stigma and Its Effect on the Working Conditions, Personal Lives, and Health of Sex Workers
Researchers have shown that stigma is a fundamental determinant of behavior, well-being, and health for many marginalized groups, but sex workers are notably absent from their analyses.

We give special attention to its negative effect on…
Sex workers as peer health advocates: Community empowerment and transformative learning through a Canadian pilot program
The peer education program proved successful in enhancing sex workers' community empowerment in one urban setting by increasing their knowledge about health issues, sharing information about and building confidence in accessing services, and expanding capacity to disseminate this knowledge to others. This 'proof of concept' built the foundation for a long-term initiative in this setting and has promise for other jurisdictions wishing to adapt sim…
Well, It Should Be Changed for One, Because It's Our Bodies: Sex Workers' Views on Canada's Punitive Approach towards Sex Work
Background: The regulation of sex work is contentious in all countries, including for governments, the public, and sex workers themselves. Research shows sex workers' perspectives are ignored during policy formation in most cases. This is despite the fact they have unique insider knowledge and are directly affected by the policies that are enacted. Methods: We analyzed the accounts of a heterogeneous sample of adult sex workers (N = 218) residing…
