This paper explores experiences of persons engaging in survival sex in Croatia. While research on commercial sex in Croatia is generally scarce, there is an absence of qualitative inquires into the life stories and experiences of per sons selling sexual services for subsistence needs. The study is grounded in a thematic analysis of interviews conducted with adult persons engaging in survival sex across the three largest Croatian cities. It examines their life stories marked by difficult childhood and drug use, and explores the conditions and risks associated with their engagement in survival sex. It also discusses agency in this specific setting, pointing at possible policy implications. In conclusion, the authors advocate for a more nuanced understanding of agency in this context and call for future research to be directed towards a more in-depth exploration of this issue
