Male prostitutes: where are they in the equation? May 26, 2008

Are they considered in the various legislations? According to a study by the University of Exeter, male prostitutes are often discriminated in the law, even in countries where prostitution is legal. Much less data is available and collected on male prostitutes than on female. Health services and clinics made available for prostitutes offer female-oriented assistance. This approach has made this category particularly vulnerable. Men are no less vulnerbale to exploitation and abuse. 

The organisation SW5 works mostly with male and transgendered sex workers.
