Description The primary objectives of this study were to gain an insight and understanding of how female commercial sex workers talk about and experience sexual knowledge and behavior, barriers and decision making on condom usage, social networks and social support, health, needs and aspirations. The study employed the Peer Ethnographical Research (PER) method to investigate the psychosocial profile of the target groups of female sex workers within Kathmandu valley. The research tool involves training members of a particular social group or social network to become peer ethnographical researchers. The peer researchers conducted in-depth and unstructured interviews with individuals selected by them from their own social network, based on the guidelines or criteria set aside by the supervisors.
