Open Doors and ISVA Presentation

• During 2009 OD became aware of an increase in our sex worker clinics
reflecting the fact that sex workers were experiencing rape and sexual
assault and were not accessing specialist services or reporting to the
police.
• Audit conducted in clinic to ascertain what sex workers would do if they or
anyone ethey knew were eeraped or sexually assaulted.
Question:
‘We are trying to find out what women who work in the sex industry would do
if they were ever raped or sexually assaulted, either at work or in their
personal lives’
• Is there anyone in authority you would speak to?
• Is there any service you would contact?
