| Kristin Battista-Frazee @porndaughter This is a controversial topic from a legal and moral perspective but I firmly believe it is a social justice and human rights issue that social workers can uniquely address. #MacroSW |

| Kristin Battista-Frazee @porndaughter @BurBur4Eva Thank you for joining #MacroSW |
| Alberto Cifuentes Jr @BurBur4Eva @porndaughter True dat! If social workers are afraid of getting into these "uncomfortable" conversations, then we won't be able to effectively and competently help and support this population. #macrosw |

| Eva Schaefer @EvaSchaefer9 I agree Sara, it's very important. Unfortunately, it's also still a taboo that not many really want to talk about... #macrosw |

| Alberto Cifuentes Jr @BurBur4Eva @porndaughter @macrosw I'm very concerned with sex workers' access to mental health services. I think stigma, especially in the form of bias and discrimination, does not make accessibility to services any easier for sex workers. #macrosw |

| Karen Zgoda, LMSW 🫶🏻🐱 @karenzgoda RT @porndaughter: Q1: Q1: How can social workers combat the stigma against sex workers?#MacroSW |
| Eva Schaefer @EvaSchaefer9 Educating the public/general population about why and how individuals are sex workers and the conditions and experiences they endure daily. #macrosw |
| Karen Zgoda, LMSW 🫶🏻🐱 @karenzgoda RT @SaraEgan12: I see some familiar faces. Hi everyone! :-) #MacroSW |

| Kristin Battista-Frazee @porndaughter @EvaSchaefer9 Agree. You should check out our June 13 #MacroSW Impact of the Fosta-Sesta Legislation |
| Desiree Polanish @DPolanish @porndaughter Education is key, particularly around the systemic issues that play a role in people engaging in sex work #macrosw |
| Rasheeda Lionel @LionelRasheeda A1: Social workers can combat stigma against sex workers by advocating for the decriminalization of sex work #MacroSW |
| Alberto Cifuentes Jr @BurBur4Eva @porndaughter Social workers should use a strengths or empowerment perspective (for all my clinicians/micro people out there) when working one-on-one with consensual sex workers. A deficits model is still too often used because being a sex worker is often seen as a moral deficit. #macrosw |

| Desiree Polanish @DPolanish @porndaughter @GCSocialWork Social isolation is such an important factor. This has to become a less taboo topic! #macrosw |

| Alberto Cifuentes Jr @BurBur4Eva @LionelRasheeda @karenzgoda Totally agree, @LionelRasheeda! Of all the current models, decriminalization is the most affirmative of human rights and sex worker self-determination or autonomy. It's even better than legalization, which some people still refer to as a form of criminalization. #Macrosw |

| SaraEgan @SaraEgan12 A 1/2 I agree with advocating for decriminalization. I am interested in some of the distinctions being made between legalization and decriminalization #MacroSW |
| Desiree Polanish @DPolanish @porndaughter Absolutely blurs that line that people already misunderstand. It also seems to be impinging on the human rights of involved parties #macrosw |
| Karin @Karin47174582 #macrosw A1: It is important that we have discussions like this one in order to raise awareness. |
| Jill Lloyd @JillLlo11535283 #macrosw A1 Education on trauma related to working in this industry for those who provide services is extremely important alongside the provision of culturally competent health care. |

| Kristin Battista-Frazee @porndaughter Q2 coming up. #MacroSW |
| Kristin Battista-Frazee @porndaughter @CorinneFiegl Canadians seem to be ahead on this issue #MacroSW |

| Alberto Cifuentes Jr @BurBur4Eva @Karin47174582 @karenzgoda But I also think social workers are looking for tangible or concrete skills and practices when it comes to working with sex workers, particularly those who willingly participate in either the short- or long-terms. #macrosw |
| Kristin Battista-Frazee @porndaughter Q2: What is influencing the mental health and suicide factors of sex workers? #MacroSW |
| serenaso @serenaso4 @LionelRasheeda Yes, and I certainly think this chat is part of ending the stigma as well #MacroSW |

| Karen Zgoda, LMSW 🫶🏻🐱 @karenzgoda RT @porndaughter: Q2: Q2: What is influencing the mental health and suicide factors of sex workers? #MacroSW |
| Alberto Cifuentes Jr @BurBur4Eva @Karin47174582 @karenzgoda And this easier said than done, since the profession as a whole is not very sex-positive- or doesn't even talk about sex. Many social workers actually seem uncomfortable talking about sex with their clients, according to some studies. #macrosw |
| SaraEgan @SaraEgan12 A 1/3 I think that part of the challenge of decreasing isolation and reducing stigma includes making clear distinctions between consensual sex work and sex traffiking #MacroSW |
| Eva Schaefer @EvaSchaefer9 A2 The conditions the individuals are in would greatly influence their mental health – are they coerced or forced, held captive or independent, experience violence... #macrosw |

| serenaso @serenaso4 A2: Stress and fear are two major factors affecting the mental health and suicide factors of sex workers #macrosw |
| Eva Schaefer @EvaSchaefer9 A2/2 ...worry about family/child well-being, worry about being able to pay bills and buy necessities, do they have a support system, are they socially isolated, #macrosw |

| Kristin Battista-Frazee @porndaughter A2: "In comparison to the growing body of research on HIV in sex work, analyses of mental health of women in sex work remain sparse and limited to only a few studies... in Europe, N. Amer., Australia & Asia." https://t.co/9FMxcqy9IK #MacroSW |
| Karin @Karin47174582 #macrosw A2: Drug use and violence are likely two factors that impact the mental health and risk for suicidality of sex workers. |
| Alberto Cifuentes Jr @BurBur4Eva @porndaughter Sex work is partially criminalized in Canada, and sex workers can collectively organize or unionize. Because of the legal and policy landscape surrounding Canada, I think it's easier to do this type of research there vs. the US, where it's fully criminalized. #macrosw |

| Alberto Cifuentes Jr @BurBur4Eva @porndaughter @voxdotcom From article: "While working in the industry can exacerbate mental health issues... it’s less because sex work itself is inherently traumatic, and more because the stigma of being a sex worker isolates people and prevents them from finding competent mental health care." #macrosw |

| serenaso @serenaso4 @SaraEgan12 I agree, fear must weigh heavily on many sex workers. Fear must be present in many aspects of their lives. #macrosw |

| Eva Schaefer @EvaSchaefer9 A3 Sex workers experience violence largely because of the stigma and social isolation they operate in. And since it’s an illegal occupation, sex workers are less likely to seek help compared to the general population (also facing certain stigmas regarding sex crimes). #macrosw |
| Jill Lloyd @JillLlo11535283 #macrosw " Globally, sex workers have a 45 to 75% chance of experiencing sexual violence at some point in their careers and a 32 to 55% chance of experiencing sexual violence in a given year" https://t.co/2L2GWeYHBL |

| Alberto Cifuentes Jr @BurBur4Eva @porndaughter There was actually a really good Law and Order SVU episode based on this myth. Two college students saw a female porn actress in a dorm and raped her because she seemed to "enjoy" it in porn. I know shows like this are over-dramatized, but it illustrated some rape myths. #macrosw |

| Desiree Polanish @DPolanish @porndaughter A3 The fact that many states allow sex work to be used against a rape victim as evidence of character is deplorable. This IS the problem #macrosw |
| Eva Schaefer @EvaSchaefer9 What about studies about stigma, suicide and mental health of sex workers in countries where sex work has been decriminalized? Are there differences? @porndaughter #macrosw |
| Karin @Karin47174582 @porndaughter @thinkprogress #macrosw This is horrible and further speaks to the idea that sex workers are disenfrancised and therefore vulnerable. |

| Alberto Cifuentes Jr @BurBur4Eva 5.) Stigma increases violence. Various studies have noted a correlation between anti-sex work rhetoric that sees street-based workers as a nuisance or threat to public order and an increase in violence against workers. #macrosw |
| SaraEgan @SaraEgan12 @BurBur4Eva @porndaughter Yes. I am sure this misconception is more prevalent than we would imagine, great that some of these shows can shed some light on that #MacroSW |

| Karin @Karin47174582 I agree Rasheeda. This happens women from all backgraounds but the stigma associatged with being a sex worker makes this even more potent. |
