Sex workers are forced to raise prices for their services amid the economic crisis 
raised prices for their services. This is reported by “Secret Firmy” with reference to the press secretary of the “Forum of Sex Workers” Marina Avramenko.
According to her, amid the crisis, some sex workers raised the cost of their services, as the flow of clients decreased … “Someone raised it twice, the number of clients decreased, but as a result the amount is the same,” Avramenko said. Others, on the contrary, began to lower the price tag in order to retain their clientele. “In the salons, for example, the program cost 3,000 rubles, now it is 2,000, the girl is good if 800 of them fall,” she said.
Also, a representative of sex workers said that recently clients began to bargain more often. “But professional women have such trades – it just went nafig. You need to feed yourself and your family here and now, ”said the representative of the Forum of Sex Workers. In addition, Avramenko added, due to lower incomes and pandemic restrictions, customers were embittered. According to her, if in the first wave of the coronavirus potential clients “sat at home and were afraid, now no one is afraid, most have already been ill, vaccinated,” but the financial problems have not gone anywhere.
The sex market has been experiencing problems for several years. In the spring of 2020, at the height of the first wave of COVID-19, representatives of the sphere complained about a drop in demand due to the spread of the coronavirus and the self-isolation regime introduced in the country. In March, demand fell by 30-40 percent. According to the estimates of the Silver Rose movement, the market employs about three million people, the annual turnover is estimated at 800 billion to one trillion rubles.
