work in the health system feel personally satisfied with our work and this compensates the negative impacts of the night shift. In the case of sex workers, our work is not a formal job with a monthly salary.

“There are days that maybe I make 150 euros and there are days that I don’t make a penny” “If I go to work and the night goes well and I gain money, I am happy. When I make 110 euros I am satisfied. This revives me and I think that the next day I am going to make the same, and maybe the day after I make less money, I make 50 o less… and well, what can I do? I don’t have a choice but to hold on.”
