Abstract title:

Commercial sex and the single girl: womens empowerment through economic development in Thailand

Author: Rachel G. Sacks
Issue: Vol. 7, Number 4 1997

The author presents the views of Thailands Population and Community Development Association (PDA Thailands largest NGO) about how to provide women attracted to the commercial sex industry (CSI) with economically viable alternatives to this accepted (in Thailand) type of manual labour. Research has shown that poverty is the major factor cited by voluntary commercial sex workers (CSWs) as influencing their move into the industry, and that economic development is their way out.
