C.A. Odyseus, SWAN member in Slovakia, has introduced a new element in their outreach services for street sex workers. Street cafeteria though still a novelty, has already proved to be a successful step in making social work more accessible and involving for sex workers.
“From July 2009 we started with street based cafeterias during our outreach work on Slovnaftska street.”, says Lubica Tornoczyova from Odyseus. “Slovnaftska is the area where street sex workers work and this part of the city is famous for trucks parking places. It is an area, which is very close to one of the busy road to the city center. There is a lack of any other services like drinking water, public phones, restaurants or other possibilities where sex workers might possibly refresh themselves or relax after work.”
