Female sex workers, specifically those trading in South Africa, are vulnerable to rape, violence, HIV prevalence and police brutality, yet these factors perpetuate a stereotype that is not definitive of who these women are.

The present article introduces some of the main issues researchers may face when studying quality of work in the sex industry, and it does so by introducing and discussing the importance of developing precise comparisons between different types of sex work, of engaging between qualitative and quantitative approaches to quality of work, and finally of looking beyond the industry, comparing sex work to other forms of work.
