Sex workers are recognized to be potentially vulnerable to violence and abuse. However, the extent and nature of violence committed against male sex workers remains under reported. The aim of this evidence scoping review was to identify the prevalence of violence against male sex workers globally. A systematic search was conducted of 8 databases from 1990 to the end of December 2016. In total, quantitative data from 27 studies conducted in 18 countries were included in the review. Evidence indicates that some male sex workers, especially those in non-Western countries, do experience high levels of violence. The largest proportion of studies reported data on sexual violence, whilst the most common type of violence experienced overall by male sex workers was that of 'verbal or emotional abuse or threats'. The views and experiences of male sex workers should be integrated fully into sex work debates, policy and service provision.
性工作者被认为容易受到暴力和虐待的伤害。然而，针对男性性工作者的暴力行为的程度和性质仍然报道不足。本证据范围综述的目的是确定全球范围内针对男性性工作者的暴力行为的流行率。对 1990 年至 2016 年 12 月底的 8 个数据库进行了系统检索。共纳入了 18 个国家的 27 项研究的定量数据。有证据表明，一些男性性工作者，尤其是那些非西方国家的男性性工作者，确实经历了高度的暴力。最大比例的研究报告了性暴力的数据，而男性性工作者总体上经历的最常见类型的暴力是“言语或情感虐待或威胁”。男性性工作者的意见和经验应该充分纳入性工作辩论、政策和服务提供中。
