Advocacy

The Advocacy and Networking Programmeaims to give input to legislative reform processes on a national and local government level and challenge human rights violations. This programme strives to make optimum use of the media in order to raise public awareness and influence public and political attitudes towards sex work. This programme again works closely with sex workers locally in relation to legal rights infringements and mobilises sex workers to take their cases forward in a collective manner in order to impact on changes to law. Central to the program is partnerships work and alliances building. The aim is to create broad support for the different campaigns and use of public events to raise awareness around the concerns and challenges that sex workers face from civil society.
