Sex work around the world takes place under conditions of structural violence and vulnerability. The México-U.S. border region is characterized by the presence of factors that increase the risk for health harms among female sex workers (FSW); located in this context, the risk environments of Tijuana and Ciudad Juárez have similar yet distinct characteristics that influence how risk is produced and experienced among FSWs. Exploring the ways in which FSWs enact agency in risk environments can illustrate how environmental characteristics shape perceived risks and the strategies that FSWs develop to manage them. This approach also identifies the limits that are placed by environmental characteristics over the capacity for harm reduction and prevention practices among FSWs. We analyzed the role of agency in the work environments of female sex workers and its relationship with risk perception and management in the cities of Tijuana and Cd. Juárez.
世界各地的性工作都在结构性暴力和脆弱性的环境下发生。墨西哥与美国边境地区的特点是存在一些会增加女性性工作者（FSW）健康危害风险的因素；在这种背景下，蒂华纳和华雷斯城的风险环境具有相似但又不同的特征，这些特征影响着女性性工作者中风险的产生和体验方式。探索女性性工作者在风险环境中发挥能动性的方式，可以说明环境特征如何塑造感知到的风险以及女性性工作者制定的管理风险的策略。这种方法还能确定环境特征对女性性工作者减少伤害和预防措施能力所设置的限制。我们分析了能动性在蒂华纳市和华雷斯城女性性工作者工作环境中的作用及其与风险感知和管理的关系。
