- Violence and Abuse: Sex workers are at a high risk of experiencing violence and abuse from clients, pimps, or law enforcement. Due to the illegal nature of sex work in many places, sex workers are often afraid to report incidents, leading to a lack of protection and justice.
- Sexual Assault and Rape: Given the vulnerable nature of the profession, sex workers are susceptible to sexual assault and rape. Perpetrators may exploit the workers' marginalized status, making it less likely that they will report such crimes.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and HIV: Sex workers face a higher risk of contracting STIs and HIV due to the intimate nature of their work. Barriers to accessing healthcare and stigma can make it challenging for them to seek medical attention and practice safe sex consistently.
- Drug and Alcohol Abuse: To cope with the harsh realities of sex work, some individuals may turn to drugs or alcohol, leading to addiction and related health issues.
- Trafficking and Exploitation: Many sex workers are victims of human trafficking, where they are coerced or deceived into the industry against their will. They may be trapped in exploitative conditions with limited freedom and subjected to further abuse.
- Mental Health Issues: The stigma, isolation, and trauma associated with sex work can lead to significant mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
- Legal Vulnerability: In many places, sex work is illegal, leaving sex workers vulnerable to arrests, fines, and imprisonment. This legal status often prevents them from accessing legal protections and recourse.
- Stigma and Discrimination: Sex workers face significant societal stigma and discrimination, leading to marginalization, social isolation, and difficulty accessing basic services and support.
- Poverty and Economic Vulnerability: Sex work can be a means of survival for individuals facing economic hardship or lack of job opportunities. However, it often perpetuates the cycle of poverty and makes it challenging to transition into other forms of employment.
- Lack of Support Services: Due to the stigmatized nature of sex work, there is often a lack of support services and resources available to help sex workers with their specific needs, such as housing, healthcare, and legal aid.
