Dear SAAFE members,

My name is Sarah and I'm a master's student at the University of Sussex in Brighton, UK. I am currently recruiting adults identifying as LGBTQ+ and working in (or who have experience working in) the sex industry for my research on sex work in the queer community. Although I am not a sex worker myself, I am a queer woman with close friends in the industry. I am a staunch believer in decriminalisation.

Participation involves a 1-1.5 hour semi-structured interview over Zoom or MS Teams, entirely flexible to your availability. If you would prefer not do a live interview, it is also possible to answer interview questions over email instead. All personal information will be kept secure, confidential and anonymised before submission/publication. This project has received full ethical approval from my institution.

Unfortunately, like so many master's research projects, I wasn't able to secure any funding so I sadly cannot re-numerate participants for their precious time and expertise. I apologise for this and understand completely if this is a barrier to anyone's participation.

If you are interested however in contributing valuable insights to this project I am extremely keen to hear from you. Please also feel free to email me at sp685@sussex.ac.uk to find out more or with any questions you may have.

Thank you in advance for reading and for your consideration,

Sarah
