Sexual violence affecting female sex workers in Côte d’Ivoire: prevalence, context, and associated mental health and substance use outcomes
Findings confirm a high burden of sexual violence among female sex workers in Côte d'Ivoire, and a need to implement large structural changes that enable female sex workers to seek protection as well as health resources after experiencing sexual violence. This may include reform in the form of targeted social, clinical and mental health resources, along with community development opportunities.
