Kuala Lumpur: A systematic review of research globally showed sex workers have a 45-75 per cent chance of experiencing sexual violence on the job, said the Pertubuhan Kesihatan dan Kebajikan Umum Malaysia (PKKUM).
But there are no records shown on the statistics in Malaysia as there is no specific organisation directly addressing the sex workers issues except for HIV and Sexual Transmitted Infection, it said in a statement in conjunction with the International End Violence Against Sex Worker Day,
PKKUM and its allies and advocates have gathered to recognise the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers by organising against discrimination and remembering victims of violence.
