Sex Workers' Forum reports that sex workers regularly receive degrading treatment in the course of such medical exams from the Vienna communal health office. They further denounce degrading treatment on the part of police who use under-cover operations to arrest unlicensed sex workers and charge them with misdemeanors. They report that stigmatization of sex workers leads to impunity for crimes against them. Finally, they also denounce the lack of employment options for female asylum seekers, that restrict many women to sex work.
