Birmingham Sex Workers Analysis of Health Needs

Birmingham Sex Workers Analysis of Health Needs (2024)

The findings have major implications for health policy and provision across the country.The SWAN study provides evidence for how sex workers experience significant health inequalities because of their line of work.

Barriers to accessing services include stigma, concerns about safety and potential legal ramifications of disclosing their occupation. However, sex workers want and need the same level of access to services as everyone else. Indeed, sex workers are at higher risk of many health problems in comparison to non-sex workers, both with regards to sexual health and many health conditions.It is hoped that the findings and recommendations in this report will be used to inform the design and delivery of health services in Birmingham, and more widely in the UK, to better meet the health needs of sex workers.
