The Survivor’s Dashboard – Davos + Sex

Introduction

Some estimates indicate that 1 in 4 women in Davos during the WEF are there for sex work, as well as hundreds of men and transgendered people. Elite sex work at Davos during the World Economic Forum has unique patterns of worker abuse, including for active workers, recruiting, new workers, and for people who have left.

The data gathered for this Davos + Sex context includes survivor stories, scam patterns, media coverage, and social science.
