Product Description
This is a monograph based on research conducted with 62 girls and women at Stand Together, a Katutura-based, non-profit organisation that offers spiritual teaching, food, clothing, and condoms to women who are or have been sex workers. The data collected is compared to a previous LAC report, Whose Body is it?: Commercial Sex Work and the Law in Namibia, which is still the largest and most comprehensive study of sex work in Namibia to date. The data shows that on average, the interviewees began sex work at the age of 16. Most have been driven into the job by financial pressures, with many having sold sex for less than N$10. The research found that 50% of these women have been forced to have sex without a condom and 56% have been beaten by their clients. The monograph concludes with a number of recommendations aimed at preventing such abuses, ranging from law reform to education and support for these women.
