Celling Sex was a community-based participatory research project that used a strengths-based approach to explore the agentic harm reduction practices employed by young women who trade sex and learn about their experience accessing health and social services. Fifteen racially diverse young women participated in interviews. They described how they tried to stay safe and advice for others. Each participant also individually made a brief digital video (cellphilm) to tell their story. Participants were invited to a private screening at which cellphilms were screened and common themes identified. The interviews and cellphilms were subsequently coded according to these themes. Participants identified a number of trading risks including: physical risks (unwanted pregnancy, STIs, and violence), social risks (racism and fetishisation), and mental health risks. To mitigate these concerns, participants detailed the harm reduction strategies they used which included use of technology, screening measures, boundary setting, and actively incorporating sexual health protections. Young women who trade sex are keenly aware of the risks inherent in transactional relationships and proactively negotiate and navigate harm reduction strategies in the context of deep systemic barriers. Further intervention may be necessary for them to actualise these strategies and access important forms of health and social support.
