UPDATE: SURVEY IS NOW OPEN TO SEX WORKERS WORKING ANYWHERE IN LONDON

Are you a sex worker working in London?
Would you like to take part in research about how laws and policing affect sex workers’ safety, health and access to services?

We’re a group of researchers led by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, including people with experience of sex work or working with sex workers. We’re working in collaboration with Open Doors (an NHS sex worker support service) and National Ugly Mugs to find out how removing sex work-related police enforcement could affect sex workers’ safety, health and access to services.  The results will be used to fight for laws, policies and services that protect sex workers’ safety, health and rights, across London and the UK.  You can read more about the research here: http://eastlondonproject.lshtm.ac.uk/

We are inviting sex workers to take a confidential online questionnaire who

• Sell sex (in-person services) in London OR have sold sex in London in the past 3 months

AND

• Are aged 18 years or older

Questionnaire available in English, Polish, Romanian and Portuguese (Brazilian).
The questionnaire is completely confidential and you do not need to give your name or contact details if you do not want to.

We will give you £20 (paypal or amazon voucher) to thank you for taking part and you can access free HIV, chlamydia and gonorrhoea testing (and we link you into treatment if necessary).

Want to take part?

You can complete the questionnaire here: https://enketo.lshtm.ac.uk/::hrZyRCyq. DM or email me for login details elp@lshtm.ac.uk or see our posts in closed sex worker forums

The questionnaire asks about your experiences with police, your safety, how your sex work is organised, contact with outreach services, your physical, mental and sexual health and housing and financial situation.

Some questions may be difficult to answer and you don’t have to answer any questions you do not want to. If you like, we can also put you in touch with organisations that provide support on safety, health and rights.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Fabulous timing for this to be done! Done.

From the wording, if you've done it in the past three months, yes.

It talks about working in London, not living there.

Hi folks,

Thanks so much to everyone who has taken part in the survey so far!

A quick reminder that the survey is still open for sex workers who have provided face-to-face sexual services in London in the last 3 months and are 18 years or older.

You can take part here: https://enketo.lshtm.ac.uk/::hrZyRCyq. DM or email me for login details elp@lshtm.ac.uk or see closed sex worker posts and forums.

For more details on the survey see the main post.

Thank you for taking the time to read this,
Jocelyn
