Article Synopsis
- Street sex work is characterized by power imbalances, with workers facing marginalization based on race, class, and gender, but they still demonstrate agency rather than being entirely powerless.
- The study uses narratives from female street sex workers in Canada to explore the strategies they use to navigate risks associated with their work and assert their agency amidst violence.
- The findings reveal how workers analyze customer behaviors and conditions in their work environment, employing theories about men's motivations for buying sex to make informed choices about which customers to engage with, while also referencing dominant discourses around masculinity and the intersections of race, class, and gender.
