Cecilia Benoit, C. B. (2017) in their study suggested the depiction of sex workers with affecting lifestyle that is hard to perceive and modify. This profession intensifies the conduct and performance of their routine in the outside environment. The psychological aspects and routine perspectives have affected sex workers working conditions and daily life.

Research design

It is an empirical phenomenological study that depicts the change in psychology and social stigma of sex workers pretending to act like a normal human beings. There are three groups of people in this profession to localize how they react to public opinion and their actions towards change in community perception.

This article is being reviewed to certain assessment criteria in America and other countries to contrast the study limits in their working. Psychologically they are all optimized normal human beings after all but developing a stigma in society some people don’t bother to be judged.

Key findings

The assessment has brought many changes to the psychology of sex workers. It gives them the leverage to occupy the social space with their image in society.

The other key finding is that being in the life of a sex worker to sustain their needs might be less possible affecting their behavior. In each circumstance, they have developed the apprehension of getting bad remarks.

This article represents sex workers' limitations in giving out their work in public. They have to represent themselves as part of regular work with no intention to cause harm to others.

Quotation

We then examined the sources of prostitution stigma at macro and micro levels.

This article defines the perception of sex workers into categorized reality and differentiates them from other levels.
