According to NGOs, around 80% of sex workers in Switzerland are migrants. Most come from EU/EFTA countries and may work legally in Switzerland for a limited period under certain conditions. For people from outside the EU/EFTA, obtaining the right to stay and work in Switzerland for the long term is considerably more difficult.
What does it actually mean to work as a migrant sex worker in Switzerland? What legal barriers, administrative requirements and social challenges do migrant sex workers face? And despite these obstacles, what opportunities does the Swiss labour market offer?
This event explores the realities of migrant sex workers and examines the interplay between residence status, working conditions and lived experience. Three sex workers and Anna Maros, a specialist at the Isla Victoria support centre, will share their experiences, discuss the challenges sex workers encounter, and reflect on the changes needed to improve their situation.
This event will be held in English.
