Abstract

In this chapter, we present recommendations for change written by the project's peer researchers, based on their findings from the study. During qualitative interviews, the peers discussed with sex workers how services should change and what actions could be taken to bring about this change. The peer researchers then discussed potential changes in action learning sets, a problem-solving process explained in detail in Chapter 9. Their personal experiences as sex workers and/or practitioners in the field gave them a deep understanding of the challenges that sex workers face. Their analysis followed an action research approach and aligned with the trauma-informed design of the project.
