Sex Workers Leading Change in Zimbabwe

Community-led. Rights-based. Rooted in lived experience.

^{AGD was founded by and for sex workers who understood the urgent need for safe spaces, solidarity, practical support, and collective action.}

^{Our work responds to the realities faced by many sex workers, including stigma, discrimination, violence, economic exclusion, limited access to respectful healthcare, and barriers to justice. Through peer leadership, community outreach, advocacy, and partnerships, we support sex workers to claim their rights, strengthen their wellbeing, and build more secure futures.}

Rights and Advocacy
_{We promote the human rights, dignity, safety, and inclusion of sex workers through rights education, community dialogue, evidence-based advocacy, and engagement with decision-makers.}

Health and Wellbeing
_{We provide peer-led health information, psychosocial support, treatment literacy, and referral support to help community members access respectful health and social services.}

Economic Empowerment
_{We support skills development, livelihood pathways, financial resilience, and opportunities for community members to strengthen their economic independence.}

Community Leadership
_{We build the capacity of peer educators, outreach workers, mobilisers, and advocates so that sex workers can lead solutions in their own communities.}

No one should be denied dignity because of who they are or the work they do.

^{_{Sex workers continue to face serious barriers to safety, healthcare, justice, economic opportunity, and social inclusion. These barriers can be made worse by stigma, violence, discrimination, poverty, criminalisation, gender inequality, and exclusion from mainstream services.}}

^{_{AGD works to ensure that sex workers are heard, respected, and included in decisions that affect their lives. We work toward a future where every person can access services, live free from violence, and participate fully in society without fear or sham}}
