社会支持可以影响女性性工作者的健康结果。在这项基于20次深度访谈的归纳女性主义理论研究中，我们探讨了蒂华纳的企业女性性工作者如何感知女性之间的联系对其生活和健康的影响。参与者选择讨论来自母亲、姐妹、朋友和同事的社会支持的重要性，以及这些关系中赋予和剥夺权力的方面。在以前的研究中，学者们证明了女性性工作者正式组织在促进减少性和艾滋病毒风险方面的功效。我们展示了与其他女性非正式联系的重要性。一些参与者提到了竞争关系，另一些人谈到了合作以及对一个相互学习的场所的渴望。当女性性工作者能够公开参与可能有助于减少性和艾滋病毒风险的妇女谈话时，她们与其他妇女的社会交往尤其具有赋权作用。
Social support can affect health outcomes of female sex workers. In this inductive feminist grounded theory study based on 20 in-depth interviews, we explore how establishment-based female sex workers in Tijuana perceive the impact of the connections among women on their lives and health. Participants elected to discuss the importance of social support from mothers, sisters, friends, and co-workers, and the empowering and disempowering aspects of these relationships. In previous studies, scholars demonstrated the efficacy of formal organization of female sex workers in promoting the mitigation of sexual and HIV risk. We show the importance of informal ties with other women. Some participants mentioned competitive relationships, others talked about cooperation and the desire for a venue to learn from one another. Social interactions with other women are especially empowering when female sex workers can openly engage in woman talk that may contribute to the mitigation of sexual and HIV risk.
