Summary:Female sex workers are at a high risk of abortion. This cross-sectional study included 855 female sex workers to determine the prevalence of lifetime abortion and its related factors. Logistic regression models were used to identify the factors related to lifetime abortion. The prevalence of lifetime abortion was reported at 40.8%. The chance of having a lifetime abortion was 7.8times higher in women aged >35years and 2.4times higher in financially dependent women. The high prevalence of lifetime abortion indicates that these women's health and fertility needs are not met.
