Sex worker

A sex worker is a person who provides sex work, either on a regular or occasional basis.^[1]^[2] The term is used in reference to those who work in all areas of the sex industry.^[3]^[4] According to one view, sex work is voluntary "and is seen as the commercial exchange of sex for money or goods".^[5] Thus it differs from sexual exploitation, or the forcing of a person to commit sexual acts.
