Accesibilidad al Sistema Sanitario Público andaluz de las trabajadoras del sexo nigerianas en el Poniente almeriense. Notas etnográficas

Abstract

This paper is part of a wider ethnographic work on the migratory projects of Nigerian women who exercise prostitution in the Poniente Almeriense (Andalusia, Spain). We examine the relation between these women and the Andalusian Public Sanitary System with respect to accessibility to and attitudes of the health personnel. The testimony of the women themselves support results that show needs to adapt the health system to the challenges presented by cultural diversity in combination with social exclusion and stigmatization.
