Female Sex workers (FSWs) are a marginalized group. Although some studies have shown various types of violence against sex workers, it is a subject which needs more in-depth knowledge.
This is a conventional content study conducted on 18 street sex workers in Shiraz, Iran.
The present study observed that sex workers had extensive experience in five forms of violence: physical, barbaric, psychological, sexual, deception and robbery. Moreover, violence was deep-rooted in their previous experiences prior to becoming a prostitute, leading to the formation of yet another type of violence, called hidden slavery with male or female pimps.
To improve the general health of this group, it is recommended that they be supported by social institutions and be provided with psychological consultations.
女性性工作者是一个边缘化群体。尽管一些研究已经表明存在针对性工作者的各类暴力行为，但这仍是一个需要更深入了解的课题。
这是一项对伊朗设拉子18名街头性工作者开展的传统内容研究。
本研究观察到，性工作者在五种暴力形式方面有丰富经历：身体暴力、野蛮暴力、心理暴力、性暴力、欺骗和抢劫。此外，暴力在她们成为妓女之前的过往经历中就已根深蒂固，导致形成了另一种暴力类型，即受男性或女性皮条客控制的隐性奴役。
为改善该群体的整体健康状况，建议社会机构为她们提供支持并开展心理咨询。
