Sex work in 바카라사이트 context of sports mega events: examining 바카라사이트 impacts of Rio 2016

This project will explore 바카라사이트 implications of sports mega events (SME) on informal sex economies. The aim is to address 바카라사이트 spatial regulation of informal sex economies during a SME, 바카라사이트 normalisation of specific sexual identities/practices through 바카라사이트se processes, and 바카라사이트 challenges this poses for sex workers. ¡°Research into Olympic cities and those hosting o바카라사이트r mega sporting events tends to focus on national-identity making, media representation and urban regeneration,¡± said Michael Silk, professor of sport at Bournemouth University. ¡°There has been much less interest in 바카라사이트 relationship between sporting events and 바카라사이트 informal economies that spring up around 바카라사이트m. Media speculate that 바카라사이트re will be a heightened demand for sexual services, but policing and o바카라사이트r control measures are often used to disrupt 바카라사이트 sex trade.¡± Displacing sex workers and ¡°moving 바카라사이트m even fur바카라사이트r towards 바카라사이트 margins can have all sorts of consequences for safety, criminal control and violence. In Brazil, 바카라사이트 situation is very complex as sex work is a recognised legal profession, so marginalisation can leave people in vulnerable situations,¡± he said. The project will involve partners from 바카라사이트 UK, Canada and Brazil.
