Details

This National Inclusion Board (NIB) report is structured around 3 themes:

• the factors that cause vulnerability, social exclusion and involvement in sex work
• how social exclusion affects the lives of sex workers and the different levels of social exclusion experienced by certain groups of sex workers
• the barriers that prevent greater social inclusion of sex workers’ lives

Many of these barriers relate to broader issues of social exclusion beyond sex work itself.
