Abstract

We conducted a systematic reviewin June 2012 (updated September 2013) to examine the prevalence and factors shaping sexual or physical violence against sex workers globally. We identified 1536 (update = 340) unique articles. We included 28 studies, with 14 more contributing to violence prevalence estimates. Lifetime prevalence of any or combined workplace violence ranged from 45% to 75% and over the past year, 32%to55%.Growingresearch links contextual factors with violence against sex workers, alongside known interpersonal and individual risks.
