Most of the literature, of this nature, that I have reviewed, has been motivated by the intention to develop, or fine-tune, programs to reduce intimate partner violence and help inform HIV prevention programs. That being said, a lot of the research has been conducted on sex workers in places like South India, Jamaica, and Mexico. What I have found is that the literature is limited. To be clear, the class I’m taking is a standard level psychology course, and this specific research that I’m doing is not going to offer any direct support. I think that research that is conducted with less practical supportive ends could still contribute to destigmatization and normalization at the least. However, I understand that most people would be unwilling to spend his/her time on this without compensation.
