By understanding the meaning of life involved in commercial sex work, one can see that the meaning of life for individuals, including commercial sex workers, can vary depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life goals. The purpose of this research is to understand how sex workers find meaning in their work. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. Two commercial sex workers were selected as subjects using purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation and semi-structured interviews. The findings of this study reveal three main themes of life's meaning: discovering the meaning of life, realizing the meaning of life, and evaluating the achievement of life's meaning. This research is expected to contribute significantly to the development of policies and social interventions that are more sensitive to the needs and human rights of commercial sex workers.
