Sisonke is a South African sex worker-led movement that was launched in 2003 at the second national sex worker meeting in Worcester in the Western Cape. Sisonke aims to reduce stigma associated with sex work, challenge and change existing laws, policies, and practices relating to sex work, and legalise sex work. The AWDF grant will be used to strengthen the sex worker networks and movements in South Africa to ensure they are adequately capacitated to speak for themselves in addressing some of their key concerns.
