Sex Work

This policy brief is part of a Gender Links series on complex and controversial issues that intersect with its work. Discussions around sex work tend to ignite fierce and polarising debates – in Southern Africa and most other parts of the world. Often referred to as the world’s oldest profession, sex work is also one of the world’s most contentious issues.

The topic of sex work intersects with so many other important discussions about women’s rights and gender, including access to resources, LGBT rights, migration, health care, legal issues and income inequality. In addition, in a region with the world’s highest prevalence of HIV and AIDS, it is important to understand how the virus is seen in relation to
the sex industry.
