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.
