BACKGROUND: Globally, client-perpetrated violence against female sex workers
(FSWs) has been associated with multiple health-related harms, including
high-risk sexual behavior and increased exposure to HIV/STIs. This study examined
correlates of client-perpetrated sexual, physical, and economic violence (e.g.,
robbery) against FSWs in 13 cities throughout Mexico. METHODS: FSWs (N = 1,089)
who were enrolled in a brief, evidence-based, sexual risk reduction intervention
for FSWs (Mujer Segura) were interviewed about their work context, including
experiences of violence perpetrated by clients, sexual risk and substance use
practices, financial need, and social supports. Three broad categories of factors
(sociodemographic, work context, behavioral and social characteristics of FSWs)
were examined as correlates of sexual, physical, and economic violence. RESULTS:
The prevalence of different types of client-perpetrated violence against FSWs in
the past 6 months was: sexual (11.7%), physical (11.8%), economic (16.9%), and
any violence (22.6%). Greater financial need, self-identification as a street
worker, and lower perceived emotional support were independently associated with
all three types of violence. Alcohol use before or during sex with clients in the
past month was associated with physical and sexual violence. Using drugs before
or during sex with clients, injection drug use in the past month, and population
size of city were associated with sexual violence only, and FSWs' alcohol use
score (AUDIT-C) was associated with economic violence only. CONCLUSIONS:
Correlates of client-perpetrated violence encompassed sociodemographic, work
context, and behavioral and social factors, suggesting that approaches to
violence prevention for FSWs must be multi-dimensional. Prevention could involve
teaching FSWs strategies for risk avoidance in the workplace (e.g., avoiding use
of alcohol with clients), enhancement of FSWs' community-based supports,
development of interventions that deliver an anti-violence curriculum to clients,
and programs to address FSWs' financial need by increasing their economic
opportunities outside of the sex trade.
