Reimagining Worker Safety in a Criminalized Environment: Uplifting Sex Worker Methods of Collective Care and Harm Reduction
Student Work
Kimberly Fuentes
June 2021
With the collaboration and input from the Sex Worker Outreach Project – Los Angeles, Fuentes conducted individual dialogues and art-based photo-elicitation with 13 sex workers in Los Angeles County. The main themes of inquiry revolved around how individuals’ identities shaped the sex worker experience, overcoming barriers related to or mitigated by their work, and identifying individual and group supports that have contributed to their well-being in a criminalized profession.
