Abstract

This article aims to highlight the health situation of prostituted women in the city of Sfax. Access to health care is a major problem for them, because of the discrimination and stigma they face on a daily basis, especially on the part of public health officials. Despite the use of the private sector by these women, considered more tolerant with funding, access to care is not without risk. Our work is based on field research on the relationship between clandestine prostitution and health, and interviews with prostituted women, whose practice is formally authorized or clandestine.

Abstract

Our goal was to assess the traumatic experience suffered in childhood by homosexual subjects and to compare it with the experience of heterosexual subjects. We carried out a study between January 2018 and March 2018 at a non-profit organization in Tunisia (ATL MST-SIDA). Participants who self-identified as homosexual were recruited (n = 24). The control group included healthy heterosexual adults recruited from the hospital staff (n = 24). Childhood trauma was assessed using the French version of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. In the homosexual group, we found that the most common form of abuse was physical neglect (61.6%), followed by physical abuse (38.5%), sexual abuse (30.8%), emotional abuse (23.1%), and emotional neglect (23%). The childhood trauma total score was 49.6 in the homosexual group and 35.0 in the heterosexual group, which is a statistically significant difference (p = 0.001). All subscale scores were found to be significantly higher in the homosexual group than in the control group, except physical and emotional abuse. The high reported frequency of childhood trauma among homosexuals calls for immediate attention from government and public health officials.
