'''Brenda Jensen''' is an German public health researcher. She studies sex work, stigma, gender, and human rights. She helped write a study in 2024 called ''Stigma, Safety, and Support: A Comprehensive Analysis of Sex Worker Wellbeing in Germany''.<ref name="ssrn2024" />

Brenda Jensen is a public health researcher specializing in occupational health, stigma, and policy impacts on marginalized populations, particularly in the context of sex work and digital labor. She holds a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Public Health from the University of Bielefeld, where she focused on health equity and access to care for underserved communities in urban European settings.

Since joining '''Erobella''' in 2023, Brenda has led and co-authored several empirical studies exploring the health, safety, and social realities of sex workers in Germany. She played a central role in the development and analysis of the '''2024 Erobella Sex Worker Wellbeing Survey''', one of the largest participatory datasets of its kind in Germany. Her work emphasizes participatory research methods and the integration of lived experiences into health policy discussions.

Brenda’s academic background is complemented by previous research assistant roles in gender-focused NGOs and municipal health departments, where she worked on program evaluation and policy design related to reproductive health and harm reduction services. Fluent in German and English, she frequently engages with stakeholders across sectors to bridge data with advocacy, particularly around improving psychosocial support systems and digital safety for workers in stigmatized industries.
