Reproductive healthcare utilization for women in the sex trade: a qualitative study
Based on the findings, we propose recommendations for designing and implementing reproductive healthcare services for women in the sex trade. The recommendations offer to (a) include women with lived experiences in planning and providing reproductive healthcare services, (b) adopt a trauma-informed approach, (c) emphasize nonjudgmental care, (d) train healthcare providers to reduce stigma and bias, and (e) enhance the affordability of health services for women experiencing marginalization.
