A randomized trial of cash incentives for sexual behavior change among female sex workers in Dar es Salaam
2021, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :Female sex workers across the world are at high risk for HIV infection. A recent systematic review conducted across 50 countries found that sex workers had an average HIV prevalence of 11.8%, and in countries with medium to high background HIV rates, this number was as high as 30% (Baral et al., 2012) Although there have been some successful interventions targeted at this population (Bekker et al., 2015; Das and Horton, 2015; Luchters et al., 2008; Manhart and Holmes, 2005), as Baral et al.’s (2012) review noted, much work is needed to scale up HIV prevention programs among this group. Conditional cash transfer programs have been used successfully in recent years in various social policy domains, including public health, to encourage behavior change (Gertler, 2004; Lagarde et al., 2007).
“Outdated Laws, Outspoken Whores”Exploring sex work in a criminalised setting
2017, Women's Studies International ForumCitation Excerpt :Discrimination based on sex worker status is highly possible when seeking other forms of work. The literature review demonstrated that within a criminalised setting sex worker networks and organisations experience difficulties in accessing sex workers due to stigma and fear which impacts on organisations ability to promote health care options (Das & Horton, 2014; Donovan et al., 2012). Six interviewees discussed how difficult it was to engage with sex workers when conducting outreach with SIN.
