摘要

本研究的目的是通过结构理论的视角来分析加尔各答顺性女性性工作者遭受性别暴力的经历。我们用孟加拉语采访了印度加尔各答的30名顺性女性性工作者，了解她们遭遇性别暴力的经历。利用解释性现象学分析，我们确定了文本中的三个主要主题：(1)性工作之前的人际暴力；(2)进入性工作岗位后发生人际暴力；(3)针对性工作者的结构性暴力。性工作者继续面临着频繁的人际暴力和结构性暴力的经历，这与社会压迫、权力以及对妇女身体和权利的性调节的结构性力量密切相关。

"I Was Scared That He Might Kill Me or Stab Me If I Said No": Violence Against Sex Workers in Kolkata, India.

This study's objective was to analyze the experiences of gender-based violence (GBV) against cisgender female sex workers in Kolkata through the lens of structuration theory. We interviewed 30 cisgender female sex workers in Kolkata, India on their experiences with GBV in the language of Bengali. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, we identified three main themes in the transcripts: (1) interpersonal violence preceding sex work; (2) interpersonal violence after entering sex work; and (3) structural violence against sex workers. Sex workers continue to face frequent experiences of interpersonal and structural violence, which are intimately related to structural forces of social oppression, power, and the sexual regulation of the bodies and rights of women.
