An attempt to help young transgender sex workers find new jobs outside the sex industry has been hit by the axing of a Government job scheme.

Five young sex workers aged 18 to 24 were employed by the Mangere East Family Service Centre in November under Work and Income's Community Max scheme, which paid non-profit groups the full costs of employing young people for 30 hours a week for six months at the minimum wage.
