Deaths of female sex workers and sexually exploited adolescent girls during the Covid-19 pandemic in Kenya, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Deaths among sexually exploited adolescent girls (SEAG) and female sex workers (FSW) are under-researched and under-reported. Although excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic has been documented among vulnerable populations, specific data on SEAG and FSW remain scarce. This lack of reliable data limits the ability of sex worker organizations and public health programs to design effective interventions or respond to shifting risks. We applie…
Deaths of Female Sex Workers from HIV/Aids in Kenya, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo 2019–2023 and Barriers to Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence

Vulnerable exposures and outcomes for children of female sex workers in low- and middle-income countries
Introduction: Children of female sex workers (CFSW) are exposed to unique bioecological vulnerabilities that negatively affect their developmental outcomes. We interviewed 1,280 female sex worker mothers (FSWM) in eight low- and middle-income countries (Angola, Brazil, South Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo, India, Indonesia, Kenya, and Nigeria) between January 16 and October 1, 2019. This exploratory study focused on multilayered exposur…

The children of female sex workers (CFSW) experience health risks based on these challenging circumstances and the unique conditions to which they are exposed. Although country child mortality data exist, little is known about the causes of death among CFSW specifically, thereby severely …
