Understanding the broader sexual and reproductive health needs of female sex workers in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Survey data were collected from female sex workers in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on the use of condoms and other contraceptive methods, experiences with gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive health service needs and preferences on where to receive services. The results found condom use was inconsistent, contraceptive methods were not used effectively and gender-based violence was common. Sex workers would prefer that reproductive health services integrate into drop-in centers where they go for sexually transmitted infections and HIV-related care.
