Walters, Ester ; Červenková, Denisa (advisor) ; Zimmermannová, Marie (referee)
Youth mentoring involves matching a young person who may be experiencing social, economic, or personal challenges with a volunteer mentor who serves as a positive role model, providing guidance, support, and encouragement. The mentoring relationship usually lasts for a specific period, such as a year or more, and may involve regular meetings or activities between the mentor and mentee. The goal of youth mentoring is to assist young people in developing the skills, confidence and resilience they need to overcome obstacles, challenges and achieve their full potential. This diploma thesis explores the ethics of mentoring, specifically in the context of formal youth mentoring. The primary focus of the work is centered around ethical aspects of mentoring as a means of providing social support to young individuals who are facing social exclusion. The main objective of this thesis is to examine how mentoring can provide positive social support to young individuals during times of transition, taking into account the ethical principles of mentoring and the impact of relationships on the well-being of mentored youth. The thesis aims to explore the various ways in which mentoring can be beneficial, while also considering the potential ethical risks such as power imbalances and boundary violations.

Zdravotní a sociální aspekty práce v privátním sexbyznysu
ONDRÁŠEK, Stanislav
Currently, private sex business is a quickly expanding but only hardly accessible part of sex business. Working in sex business in general means a number of severe risks and impacts that the persons providing sexual services have to deal with on a daily basis and that significantly impact their health and social lives. The presented dissertation focuses on selected health and social aspects of working in private sex business. The main objectives of the dissertation were: 1. To analyze if women working in private sex business are socially excluded and if yes then how such exclusion manifests; 2. To analyze the factors impacting continuing doing sex work or entering the legal labor market; 3. Analyze preventive health measures that the target group takes; 4. Finding out to which extent women working in private sex business receive social support from their environment. A partial objective of the dissertation was to analyze the development of private sex services in the South Bohemian Region and in Prague. The objectives were approached by combining qualitative and quantitative research strategies and methodological approaches. The survey was partially conducted as part of the project called " Životní styl žen v privátním sexbyznysu a jejich (sebe)reflexe" [Lifestyle of women in private sex business and their (self)reflection] that was financially supported by the Grant Agency of the University of South Bohemia under the evidence number GAJU No. 029/2016/S. The qualitative data was collected via interviews in combination with the biographical-narrative technique and semi-structured interviews. The quantitative data was collected via a questionnaire and using the standardized Duke-UNC Functional Social Support Questionnaire (FSSQ). The basic sample consisted of female sex workers in the South Bohemian Region and Prague (N=37). The comparative sample for analyzing social support consisted of street sex workers (N=40). The gained results were then processed by using qualitative and statistical analytical methods. The qualitative part of the research shows that private female sex workers are often confronted to a certain degree with social isolation manifested by a distorted or reduced social network. The results also show that in order to prevent sexually transmitted diseases they use protection; however, based on the client or surcharge they do not use protection. The analysis of subjective factors impacting remaining in sex business show that they perceive sex work as a job that gives them freedom. Such freedom is however impacted by rationalization of sex workers. A common identified feature of private female sex workers is a distorted view of legal work due to negative or lacking experience. A subjective and at the same time objective factor is also the financial aspect, in which sex business provides high and fast earnings. The objective factors are education and limited or non-existent practice on the legal labor market. Based on the analysis of quantitative data, the length of being active in sex business is statistically significant to the extent of social support that sex workers receive. There was a statistically significant difference between street sex workers who receive less social support than private sex workers. The dissertation provides insight into the issue of private sex business which is a very seldomly researched topic. The results of the dissertation should not be generalized due to a non-representative research sample but they can be used by organizations working with the target group to specifically provide expert help and intervention. The results also can be used for further research studies in the area of providing sex services/sex business.
