For this reason, we want to share some useful tips to help sex workers protect themselves from sexual abuse.
Know Your Rights.
As a sex worker, you have legal and human rights. It is important that you know your rights and how to protect them. If you have been a victim of sexual abuse, you have the right to report it to the authorities and receive medical and psychological care.
Set Clear Boundaries.
It is important to establish clear boundaries with your clients. Be clear about what you are willing and unwilling to do. If a client does not respect your boundaries, end the session immediately.
Use Protection.
Using protection is essential to protect yourself from sexual abuse and sexually transmitted diseases. Make sure to use condoms at all times and change them between each client.
Work in a Safe Place.
It is important to work in a safe place where you feel comfortable and protected. If you work on the street, try to do so in well-lit and busy areas. If you work in a brothel or club, make sure there are adequate safety measures in place.
Maintain a Support Network.
It is important to have a support network of friends, family, or coworkers. If you have been a victim of sexual abuse, it is important to talk to someone you trust who can provide emotional support.
Trust Your Instincts.
If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and end the session immediately. Do not hesitate to call the authorities if you feel in danger.
Remember, sexual abuse is a crime and is never the victim’s fault. If you have been a victim of sexual abuse, it is important to know that you are not alone and that help is available. Do not hesitate to seek professional help if needed.
