- Female sex workers in Cochabamba: a socio-demographic approach Patriccia Andressa Bevilacqua Grace Laura Camacho Costa Medicina women Sex work social group population characteristics Objectives:to identify the socio-demographic profile of sex workers in the department of Cochabamba. Method: the study was non-experimental, cross-sectional and descriptive, carried out in the Departmental Centre for Surveillance, Information and Reference - CDVIR, with a sample of 433 sex workers. The confidence level was 95% and the sampling error was 4.63%. The instrument was a self-administered questionnaire validated by the Teaching and Research Committee of the San Juan de Dios Psychiatric Institute, which used variables that were subjected to frequency studies and measures of central tendency and dispersion. The principles of the Declaration of Helsinki were complied with. Results: the sex workers are young, from the urban areas of the cities of the main axis of the country, have no fixed partner, have children, a high level of schooling, do not practice any religion, consume alcoholic beverages regularly, started working and sex work at an early age, without family members who know about the work, have been working for less than five years, wish to stop sex work, but are unable to do so due to economic needs. Conclusions: Women in sex work have a high family burden and difficulties in accessing the formal labour market to generate income to subsist and support their offspring, as a result of the feminisation of poverty, the machismo of society and patriarchal social style, associated with the neglect of the state. It is necessary to change the paradigm of women in society in order to change this reality. 2020 artículo científico 1012-2966 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=445674690016 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4456/445674690016/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4456/445674690016/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4456/445674690016/445674690016.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4456/445674690016/movil https://doi.org/10.47993/gmb.v43i1.17 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4456 Gaceta Médica Boliviana application/pdf Universidad Mayor de San Simón Gaceta Médica Boliviana (Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia) Num.1 Vol.43
