“…Structural interventions refer to public health and other macro-and meso-level strategies that bridge rights and policies and promote health, well-being, and dignity for marginalized groups by altering the structural context within which their health, safety, and well-being are produced and reproduced (Blankenship et al 2000). In addition to negative moral judgment and punitive measures governing their work, many sex workers have a history of complexity in their lives that predisposes them to comparatively high degrees of food insecurity and other forms of economic hardship, low educational achievement, inadequate housing, poor physical and mental health, high levels of long-term disability and unmet health needs, and elevated rates of assault and victimization (McCarthy et al 2014;Benoit and Unsworth 2021;Benoit et al 2021a;Benoit et al 2016;Hardy and Sanders 2015;McMillan and Worth 2017;Vijayakumar et al 2019;Vijayakumar 2018). In our call for empirical papers, we encouraged submissions reporting research findings on the structural factors, such as material hardship, poverty, insecure housing, the multi-generational impacts of colonization, and stigma that play a key role in predisposing sex workers to an elevated risk of experiencing social disadvantages (Hardy and Sanders 2015;Lanau and Matolcsi 2022).…”
