The research will identify the factors linked to the demand for sexual services, examine the buyers/clients’ perceptions and attitudes towards women in prostitution, and focus on the general perceptions and attitudes of Cypriot men and women towards women in prostitution and possible victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation.

This project is a follow-up to a previous project entitled “Mapping the Realities of Trafficking in Women for Sexual Exploitation in Cyprus” that was carried out with the support of the National Machinery for Women’s Rights. The main aim of the project was to gain and share awareness, knowledge and understanding of the phenomenon of trafficking in women in Cyprus for the purpose of sexual exploitation. The project was carried out using a gender-sensitive, feminist perspective.
