Finland has been described as the second most violent country for women in the European Union. Women frequently experience violence, particularly sexual violence, and violence in intimate relationships.
Transactional sex can be an attempt to fulfill some of life’s basic needs, have a sense of intimacy in a relationship, and experience agency.
Service systems should recognize the vulnerable position of women and girls, female-specific issues, and sexual rights.
