Female sex workers (FSWs) belong to a marginalized social group, and lag in physical, psychological, social and economic spheres of their lives. It ultimately compromises their health. Belonging to a high-risk behaviour group, FSWs are at a higher risk of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and cervical cancers.
