Understanding the impact of social policies on the lived experience of migrant sex workers in the UK.

我提议的项目旨在加强目前对移民性工作者在英国的经历的理解，特别是与英国社会政策有关的经验。例如，英国的“敌对环境”政策(即对希望获得基本服务的移民施加额外限制，如洗发、福利、银行和医疗保健)如何影响移民性工作者，并对他们的安全、保障和福祉产生影响？通过使用伦理和参与式的方法进行这项研究，我打算鼓励移民性工作者参与这项研究项目，并分享他们关于英国社会政策如何影响他们的第一手经验。根据学术文献，移民性工作者已经面临着更高的边缘化和社会排斥风险，我的研究项目将研究移民性工作者通常较低的社会经济地位、获得基本服务的限制以及暴力风险增加之间的交集，以及他们的经历如何受到英国政策环境的影响和塑造。我将调查移民性工作者由于身为“移民”和“性工作者”的身份而面临的双重排斥，以及他们在英国的生活经历。通过这篇文章，我希望了解英国移民性工作者面临的挑战，并确定可能对她们的安全、保障和福祉有害的政策。我还打算强调移民性工作者对这些政策的反对和抵制。

My proposed project seeks to strengthen the current understanding of the experiences of migrant sexworkers in the UK, specifically in relation to UK social policy. For instance, how has the UK's 'hostileenvironment' policy (i.e. additional restrictions for migrants wishing to access essential services such ashousing, welfare, banking, and healthcare) affected migrant sex workers and impacted on their safety,security and wellbeing? By using an ethical and participatory approach to this research, I intend toencourage migrant sex workers to participate in this research project and share their first-handexperiences of how the UK's social policies are affecting them. Drawing on academic literature thatsuggests that migrant sex workers already face a higher risk of marginalisation and social exclusion, myresearch project will examine the intersection between migrant sex workers' typically lower socioeconomicstatus, restricted access to essential services, and increased risk of violence, and how theirexperience is influenced and shaped by the UK's policy environment. I will examine the dual exclusionthat migrant sex workers face due to their position as 'migrants' and 'sex workers' and how thesecontribute to their lived experience in the UK. Through this I hope to develop an informed account of thechallenges faced by migrant sex workers in the UK and identify policies that may be harmful for theirsafety, security and wellbeing. I also intend to highlight opposition and resistance to these policies bymigrant sex workers.
