Book Cover: ASWA Newsletter-Apr-June 2025

This quarter has been defined by both resilience and urgency for sex workers across Africa. With abrupt funding cuts from PEPFAR and USAID, communities
face shuttered clinics, staff layoffs, and disrupted access to HIV treatment. Yet, in the midst of shrinking civic space and deepening crises, sex worker-led organisations continue to raise their voices, share their stories, and demand justice.

From hosting the Feminist Academy for Sex Workers in Zambia to advancing feminist technology and documenting violence through our Murder Monitoring Tool, ASWA has shown that sex workers are not just beneficiaries but leaders shaping solutions. Sex worker rights are non-negotiable. The struggle continues, and our movement is stronger than ever.
