Question 2

Explain the importance of both structural and personal factors that Oselin found necessary in helping women leave their careers in prostitution.If you were a social worker, which factors would you focus on in helping prostitutes get out of "the life?" Why?

Accepted Answer

Oselin's research highlighted the importance of both structural and personal factors in helping women leave their careers in prostitution. Structural factors, such as access to stable housing, job training, and social support services, are crucial in providing the necessary resources for women to transition out of the sex industry. These factors address the systemic barriers that often keep women trapped in prostitution, such as poverty, lack of education, and limited job opportunities. On the other hand, personal factors, such as self-esteem, motivation, and a sense of empowerment, play a significant role in helping women build the confidence and resilience needed to leave their exploitative situations and pursue a better life.

As a social worker, I would focus on both structural and personal factors in helping prostitutes get out of "the life." It is essential to address the systemic issues that contribute to their involvement in prostitution, such as poverty, homelessness, and lack of access to education and job opportunities. Providing resources for stable housing, job training, and financial assistance can help address these structural barriers and create a pathway for women to leave the sex industry. Additionally, addressing personal factors such as trauma, self-esteem, and empowerment through counseling, support groups, and mentorship programs can help women build the necessary skills and confidence to transition out of prostitution and rebuild their lives. By addressing both structural and personal factors, social workers can provide comprehensive support that addresses the complex needs of individuals involved in prostitution and helps them achieve long-term success in leaving "the life."
