We want to work on what is needed to enhance the living and working conditions of trans-sex workers. It is about ALL sex workers, no matter if working in- or outdoors, alone with customer initiation through internet or working in teams, self employed or not, transwoman or transman,…

Rather than imposing an external view about the their needs, we want to research sex workers’ own necessities and opinions. This is accomplished through different surveys at workspaces and online. We have already done interviews in the street-segment of the industry using a Bulgarian translator during the work times of the sex workers with our questionnaire. There is still a need for contributions from all sections of sex work to get a representative picture. Since it is not enough to just gather opinions, we will try to evaluate and find practical approaches together with sex workers of different work-spaces and implement them. As a first step, to build up a suitable network of trans*sex workers, we will offer a weekly meal before start of the work in Kurfürstenkiez/Berlin. This is an area where a lot of trans*sex workers meet clients. We hope to be able to work on other practical approaches to issues we encounter within the research. Here you can read some of the outcomes. Have a look at the questionnaire and the results.
