Women comprise an increasing proportion of migrants. Many voluntarily migrate for sex work or practice survival sex, while others may be trafficked for sexual exploitation. To investigate how the context of mobility shapes sex work entry and HIV risk, we conducted in-depth interviews with formerly trafficked women currently engaged in sex work (n=31) in Tijuana, Mexico and their service providers (n=7) in Tijuana and San Diego, USA from 2010-2011. Women's experiences of illustrate that circumstances driving and resulting from migration shape vulnerability to sex trafficking, voluntary sex work entry, and HIV risk. Findings suggest an urgent need for public health and immigration policies that provide integrated support for deported and/or recently arrived female migrants. Policies to prevent sex trafficking and assist trafficked females must also consider the varying levels of personal agency involved in migration and sex work entry.
女性移民的比例在不断增加。许多女性自愿移民从事性工作或为生存而进行性交易,而另一些人可能会被贩卖以进行性剥削。为了调查流动背景如何影响性工作的进入和感染艾滋病毒的风险,我们在2010年至2011年期间对墨西哥蒂华纳目前从事性工作的曾被贩卖妇女(n = 31)及其在美国蒂华纳和圣地亚哥的服务提供者(n = 7)进行了深入访谈。女性的经历表明,推动移民并由移民导致的各种情况塑造了她们在性交易、自愿从事性工作以及感染艾滋病毒风险方面的脆弱性。研究结果表明,迫切需要制定公共卫生和移民政策,为被驱逐和/或新抵达的女性移民提供综合支持。预防性交易和协助被贩卖女性的政策还必须考虑到移民和从事性工作过程中个人能动性的不同程度。
