“…One study ( Suratman et al., 2016 ) examined an educational intervention which was delivered one-to-one. Nine interventions ( Rodriguez et al., 2018 , Qian et al., 2007 , Chai et al., 2018 , He et al., 2012 , Hussain et al., 2020 , Yang et al., 2017 , Zhu et al., 2013 , Zhu et al., 2014 , Ning et al., 2013 ) supplemented group-level knowledge/awareness-raising with the distribution of educational materials such as leaflets and four studies ( Qian et al., 2007 , He et al., 2012 , Zhu et al., 2014 , Lim et al., 2018 ) also provided health products and services such as contraceptives or sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening and treatment services.…”

“…Supportive third parties, access to condoms, and access to sexual health services and education in the workplace have been documented to promote effective negotiation of condom use and enable increased uptake of HIV/STI testing among im/ migrant sex workers in several global settings [45,69,83,84]. As previously described, im/migrant sex workers may also benefit from legal access to third party services (e.g.…”

This chapter introduces the structural determinants that shape health and labour rights among im/migrant sex workers globally. It explores issues related to criminalisation, mandatory health testing, precarious immigration status, economic marginalisation, racialisation, racism and discrimination, language barriers, and gender. This chapter examines how these factors shape health access, health outcomes, and labour rights among im/migrant sex workers in diverse contexts. These issues were explored through a review of academic literature, which was complemented by community consultations that elucidate the lived experiences of gender-diverse im/migrant sex workers from Europe and across the globe. Findings illustrate how shifting sex work criminalisation, public health and immigration regulations (e.g. sex worker registration, mandatory HIV/STI testing), and policing practices impact im/migrant sex workers and shape the labour environments in which they work. The chapter subsequently presents recommendations on policy and programmatic approaches to enhance health access and labour rights among im/migrant sex workers. Finally, it concludes by highlighting the ways in which im/migrant sex workers resist social and structural exclusion, stigma, and ‘victim’ stereotypes, highlighting their tenacity and leadership in the fight to advance labour and human rights among im/migrants and sex workers worldwide.

“…Key structural determinants 9 studies (3 quantitative; 6 qualitative) reported on structural determinants. A quantitative study found difficulty accessing condoms at work to be associated with inconsistent condom use [48], whereas uptake of community-based health promotion [30] and serving clients in indoor venues [34,48] were positively associated with consistent condom use.…”

Objective: Given stark health inequities among precarious and criminalized workers, we aimed to apply a structural determinants framework to systematically review evidence on HIV/sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevalence, access to HIV/STI/ SRH services, and condom use among im/migrant sex workers (ISWs) globally.Methods: Systematic search of peer-reviewed studies published in English (2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019). Eligible studies reported HIV/STI, access to HIV/STI/SRH services, and/or condom use outcomes and/or lived experiences among ISWs. Quantitative and qualitative data were synthesized using a structural determinants framework.Results: Of 425 studies screened, 29 studies from 15 countries were included. HIV prevalence ranged from 0.3 to 13.6% and varied across settings, with highest prevalence among undocumented ISWs in a high-income country (Portugal). Precarious immigration status was a structural factor associated with poorer HIV/STI outcomes, whereas qualitative narratives showed ISWs' lived experiences as strongly shaped by policing and stigma. Despite disparities, in some settings, HIV and STI prevalence were lower and odds of condom use with clients were higher among ISWs relative to non-im/ migrant sex workers. This review identified a paucity of research on SRH and male and gender-diverse ISWs. Across legislative settings, criminalization of SW and im/migrant status, policing, and migration-related marginalization were prominent structural barriers to ISWs' HIV/STI/SRH access. Conclusion:This review identified important inequities and variation in HIV/STI prevalence among ISWs globally. Our findings highlight impacts of the intersections of migration and criminalization, and suggest a need to reform criminalized sex work laws; address punitive policing and immigration enforcement; enable safer indoor work environments; and expand community-based interventions towards promoting HIV/ STI/SRH access and health equity among ISWs.
