Någon måste våga fråga! : En kvalitativ studie om faktorer som bidrar till eller hindrar individer att lämna sexindustrin, samt verksamma behandlingsinsatser som används i processen av utträde och återintegrering.

Sammanfattning: This bachelor’s thesis aims to identify encouraging and discouraging factors affecting individuals who wish to leave the sex industry. What treatment efforts are available for these individuals who are in the process of leaving and what after-process treatments are accessible to help integrate the individuals back to society? Since there is not enough scientific research on the specific clientele, we chose to raise this issue for a higher awareness among our fellow students. Seeing the results, we realised the importance of people working in our future profession being enlightened about this subject in order to aid in guiding individuals that are being exploited and exposed within the sex industry. The study is qualitatively conducted with semi-structured interviews that have provided the study with a deeper understanding of the topic. The thesis is based on two different theories, the exit process theory (Ebaugh, 1988) and Foucault’s view of relationships driven by force and empowerment (2002). The study shows that there are few treatment efforts available for those who want to leave or already have left the sex industry and that the discouraging factors are plenty more than the encouraging factors.
