The complex reality of prostitution : Experiences of societal support (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie var att utforska kvinnors erfarenheter av samhällets stöd under och efter prostitution i Sverige. Genom att analysera fyra kvinnors självbiografier om prostitution framkom både positiva och negativa aspekter av stödet de mottagit från olika samhällsaktörer. De centrala fynden i studien var vikten av ett icke-dömande, empatiskt och stödjande bemötande, vilket ofta varit avgörande för kvinnorna för att våga prata om sina upplevelser. Resultatet visade även hur negativa erfarenheter försvårar möjligheten för kvinnorna att ta emot adekvat stöd. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och en tematisk analys användes för att analysera datamaterialet. Studien understryker behovet av en ökad kunskap och medvetenhet bland professionella för att bättre kunna möta kvinnor med erfarenhet av prostitution. 

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to explore women's experiences of societal support during and after prostitution in Sweden. By analyzing the autobiographies of four women about their experiences of prostitution, both positive and negative aspects of the support they received from various societal actors emerged. The key findings from the study showed the importance of a non-judgmental, empathetic, and supportive reception, which has often been crucial for the women to feel comfortable sharing their experiences. The results also showed how negative experiences prevent women’s ability to receive adequate support. The study has a qualitative approach, and a thematic analysis was used to analyze the data material. The study emphasizes the need for increased knowledge and awareness among professionals to better meet the needs of women with experiences of prostitution.
