Seeking submissions for systemic review on violence and HIV among sex workers
Printer-friendly versionDeadline: March 30, 2012
The World Health Organization and the Gender and Sexual Health Initiative (GSHI) of the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS/ University of British Columbia are working to perform a review of violence against sex workers and links to HIV infection.
As part of this review, they are documenting best practices in interventions aimed at reducing violence and HIV in the sex industry. They are currently collecting and synthesizing evidence on the successes and challenges of interventions aimed at reducing violence against sex workers, including female, male and transgender sex workers, in any and all regions globally.
In addition to peer review literature, they would like to include grey literature (policy reports, reports by community organizations) that document interventions aimed at reducing violence against sex workers. If you or your organization has produced a report that describes interventions, policies or programs to reduce violence against sex workers, including links to HIV prevention, please forward to: gshi@cfenet.ubc.ca.
All contributions, reports and documents will clearly be cited in the final report. Reports in all languages are welcomed.
