Sex Work

Sex work refers to the exchange of sexual services, performances, or products for financial compensation. It encompasses a wide range of activities in the adult industry, including prostitution, escorting, exotic dancing, pornography, webcam modeling, phone sex operation, and more. Sex work is a consensual transaction between adults, although it remains stigmatized and criminalized in many parts of the world.

Additional Information

Sex work is sometimes referred to as "the world's oldest profession." While some engage in sex work by choice, others may do so due to economic necessity, coercion, or limited options. Sex workers come from diverse backgrounds in terms of gender, age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. The sex industry operates in various settings, from streets and brothels to high-end escort agencies and online platforms. Many sex worker rights organizations advocate for the decriminalization of sex work and improved working conditions.
