Perceptions of quality of life by female sex workers from the rural area of the Sert ão Produtivo Baiano, Brazil: a phenomenological study

CONCLUSION: The fact that these female sex workers come from a poor region of Brazil and live in a rural area far from urban centers leads to unique difficulties for them. They suffer from marginalization and restricted social services as a result of their circumstances, and highly value the freedom to face the difficulties of day-to-day life that their income from sex work provides. Good quality of life for these women is achieved by striving for physical health, food, and well-being (goals made attainable by that income), but can be hindered by violence.PMID:37634626 | DOI:10.22605/RRH6808
