When a client approaches a prostitute, he is rarelyinterested in buying school supplies for her children, and she isjust as unlikely to be interested in the sex. Yet these materialexchanges are the foundation of the sex economy. Indeed, if there isone unifying factor in the experiences of sex workers, it is fastmoney. The sex sector offers more money in fewer hours thanvirtually any other type of employment. Fast money comes at a high price, however. Sexworkers face daily risks to their health, safety and emotionalwell-being. How well they manage these risks has enormous implications fortheir families, communities, and society more broadly. What’s Money Got To Do With It? takes readers to thestreets, brothels and strip clubs of Managua to explore theeconomic dimensions of the sex industry. It describes, in sexworkers’ words, why and when they risk violence and disease, and whatmoney has to do with these decisions. Their experiences havethe potential to change the way address key policy challenges relatedto the sex industry, from employment and human rights, toviolence and the spread of disease.
