Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This is an examination of how women sex workers, a known target group in HIV prevention, are re-constructed by local authorities so that certain women are more controlled and regulated than others, based on racial, ethnic and class identifiers. The research is based on a qualitative, in-depth study of the social organization of women�s sex work in Antananarivo, Madagascar. The research uncovered three collective social positions of sex work in Antananarivo: ambany (low), associated with slave status; antonony (middle) associated with the local ethnic group, or the Merina; and ambony (high) associated with a c�tier (coastal) identity, or those who are non-Merina. The findings illustrate that women defined as Merina are more likely to be controlled and regulated by police and health authorities than women occupying other social positions, who are largely ignored by the authorities. These findings have implications for HIV prevention, and illustrate how local constructions of who is important to protect and control impact the social stratification of health in society.
