    WORKING

    Sex Worker

    Sex workerSamanta moved to Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, for the same reason that thousands of other foreigners did: the oil boom.

    As the eastern terminus of a new pipeline carrying oil from the former Soviet Union to Europe and points west, the city has swelled with oil workers, construction workers, businessmen, and engineers. And, as in boomtowns everywhere, with sex workers like Samanta.

    In a corrupt and violent society, it can be a very dangerous life – especially for a woman who was born a man.
