집창촌 여성들의 이촌 의향

The Intention of Sex Workers for Moving out from Brothels

이 연구는 집창촌에 거주하는 성매매 여성들의 이촌 의향에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하였다. 자료는 전국 7개 지역(서울, 경기, 인천, 대구, 부산, 전북, 강원)의 집창촌에서 생활하는 성매매 종사여성 1,078명을 대상으로 설문조사한 결과이며, 이중에서 999명이 최종분석에 활용되었다. 집 창촌 생활년수, 집창촌 성매매 경험년수, 성병경험, 콘돔사용정도 등을 독립변수로 생활만족도와 성병 및 에이즈 감염에 대한 불안감을 매개변수로 설정하여 중다회귀분석 및 경로분석을 통하여 변수들 간의 인과관계를 분석하였다. 한편, 연령, 학력, 결혼상대 등은 통제변인으로 설정하였다. 집창촌 여성들의 이촌 의향은 성병 및 에이즈 감염 불안감이 높을수록, 생활만족도가 높을수록, 성병 감염횟수가 많을수록, 연령이 높을수록, 미혼인 경우 낮았으며, 성병 및 에이즈 감염 불안감은 집창촌에서 생활을 오래 했을수록 높았다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 집창촌의 특성이 반영 될수록 이촌 의향이 낮았다. 즉, 누적된 집창촌 생활경험은 사회적 편견이 내변화되는 결과를 낳고 성매매 여성들의 자아정체감을 훼손시켜 집창촌을 벗어나 일반 사회로의 편입의지를 약화시키는 것으로 추정된다.
