Whilst strangulation can occur in domestic abuse and sexual violence, it can also be a part of sex &#8211; including within the sex industry. In the context of consensual sex, strangulation is sometimes referred to as \u2018choking\u2019 or \u2018breath play\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We would like to get a better understanding of how strangulation features in sex work for those working in the UK, and so have created a survey to gather some input directly from sex workers. This survey contains 4 sections of questions. There are a total of 17-18 <strong>optional<\/strong> questions, depending on your responses. It should take no longer than 5-10 minutes to complete.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please complete the survey here: <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.office.com\/e\/a4K82nf4nh\">https:\/\/forms.office.com\/e\/a4K82nf4nh<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please get in touch with us &#8211; contact@ifas.org.uk &#8211; if you would like to complete the survey in a different way e.g., through talking through the questions with a Researcher, or if you would like the questions presented in a different more accessible format.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you have been strangled, please look through our information for victims of strangulation: <a href=\"https:\/\/ifas.org.uk\/information-leaflet-for-victims\/\">https:\/\/ifas.org.uk\/information-leaflet-for-victims\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is currently available in the following languages: English, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Urdu, Welsh.
