- Double-weighted statement
- This book merits double-weighting because of the very substantial work with a hard-to-reach group that it involves and its contribution to policy. It reports a large-scale study in seven locations of 114 women exiting prostitution and of trafficked women, involving ethnography, observation, qualitative interviews and some quantitative work, interviews with professionals and others involved with the women as well as other stakeholders. It examines institutional structures and policy to build up a comprehensive picture of the experiences of and barriers facing women seeking to exit prostitution and of how services fail and could be improved.
