Support for the National Sex Work Programme: Decriminalisation and Empowerment

We believe in the importance of supporting the National Sex Work Programme to ensure it is adequately funded and promoted within Parliament. It’s crucial to endorse the decriminalisation of sex work, which is backed by the CGE’s position paper and COSATU's resolution. This legal framework can better our society amidst high unemployment, poverty, and health challenges, including HIV. We are not voiceless; we are experts in our lives. Join us in prioritizing sex workers' voices and advocating for policies that impact our community.
